I liked “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by Angela Duckworth.

Reverend W. J. Kennedy – … if you want any business done for you, you should ask a busy man to do it, and not a man of leisure …
Just as it is almost proverbial that, if you want any business done for you, you should ask a busy man to do it, and not a man of leisure, so it is the laborious scholar, who is working hard at languages, who picks up, nay, actually reads and studies more of other subjects than the rest of his fellows at school or college.
Reverend W. J. Kennedy, who was the Inspector of Schools for Lancashire and the Isle of Man in Britain, 1856
Hello, world!
This will be a blog where I, Olivian Breda, will put my thoughts on the best books I read.
I’ll try to post quality content, and in-depth analysis, but, as any busy man could tell you, there’s never enough time for that.
Hope you’ll enjoy reading the blog as much as I’ll enjoy writing on it.
Long live the new blog!
