Started reading Hyperion, couldnโ€™t finish it because of the Sol Weintraub story, itโ€™s hard to read when you have kids

I finished it and read the sequel, loved the Shrike story line but thereโ€™s better scifi to read in my opinion.

The E-Myth. A classic for entrepreneurs, I had waited to read it as nd I think it was the right time. For me, it clicked that a business needs to become a machine, with defined processes. Of course, I chose a very innovative service to make, so getting there will be tough. But the book definitely helped me get more sense of direction.

Probably the movie Perfect Blue. I love creatively told, dark stories, and I love good animation, that movie expertly delivered on both and resonated with me.

Finnegans Wake. I read it across the year with an online group. It was always on the edge of incomprehensibility - often well over the edge - but it definitely had a impact.

This yearโ€™s โ€˜big readโ€™ will be the Chinese classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms Iโ€™m just about to make a start.
