What they’re reading By DIANA NGILA How many books do you read a year? About 12 books; I find that one book a month is a realistic goal, especially when balancing family life and work. The first quarter of the year is almost over, have you achieved your reading goals? I am currently reading my second book: ‘The History of the World’ by Frank Welsh. Before that, I completed Mary Trump’s book ‘Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.’ By Christmas time, I am sure I shall be on track. You got your PhD before you reached 30, did this decision pay off?
