The World Atlas Of COFFEE

By Alessandro Carosi

I have a problem ,I can’t stick with reading one book or magazine I will get bored easily so I need a reading rotation that keep me focus and interested in what I’m reading ,which is the problem ? I did start at least eight books ,to don’t talk about all the articles I read on Internet ,I need more time to read everything but I don’t have it I do have to work ,eat ,use the toilet,normally 3 times a day  so basically I keep to add on  stuff to read with the feeling now I will never finish it or if I will I will be over one hundred year old ,It doesn’t sounds a good idea ,I promise I will stick with what I have and by the end of 2019 I will finish to read all.

In past articles I showed you which books I had in my hands ,now in my endless collection I added something new
