leetcode rather than reading which is not going to give any benefit. Secondly, books are overly verbose Sounds to me like you have some pretty rather odd beliefs. It's not clear, based on this, that you really even want to read more books. I'm very unsure what to tell somebody who seems to basically be saying "I don't find reading valuable, but I want to read more." Ya get what I mean? It might be time to work on reframing some of your thoughts about this, which might or might not end up with you deciding to even bother. Not that there's anything wrong with that, whichever way it comes out. All of that said, the best thing I've ever done to help myself read more is simply to set a yearly goal for how many books I want to read (I use Goodreads to keep track). Having a goal hanging over my head is constant motivation to work towards it. But note that while it's a goal, it's not like the "Goal Books" are all books that are meant to be "productive" in some way. IOW, it's not all about learning, or improving skills, etc. I totally intermingle the books I read purely for leisure with the ones I read for any other purpose (which does, at times, include learning, improving skills, etc.)
