That makes the two for us then. Two of my good habits are reading and writing. Although, I ditched writing some time ago only to pick it up recently, I however didn't quit reading, and it didn't quit me too.
My type of books? I love reading books on spirituality and self-help, I read these to find out more things I can put into practice to better my life. My favorite books so far on this topics are Forty Rules of Love
by Rumi and his poetry collection and the Untethered Soul by Deepak Chopra. I am also an avid fan of Ryan Holiday and his books as well as Napeleon Hill.
I read philosophy and psychology books, as well as books on poetry and art. Recently I have started digging into world war 2 books.
My favorite fiction authors are James Hadley Chase and Sydney Sheldon. I have read almost all their books.
It seems like you've got a few authors you like to read and I think it's good to get some understanding about how to proceed, although, there's nothing like experience, living life itself, to teach valuable lessons. I hope you're making your own way forward and not just deferring to the thoughts and words of others.
Sure, what had been written is already written, but the world changes and so do we, but ancient wisdom seems timeless.
