Read more poetry. I kinda hate New Years resolutions, and the type of things one typically resolves to do, like exercise and whatnot, I started working on in mid November. Last year’s reading goal was 20 books, I made it to 28. None of them were particularly long though. I think I will go for 35 this year and see if I can manage.
My goal was 12, I made it to 27. I'm going to up my goal a little bit this year, but I find that length + content = variable amount of time to finish a book (what a shocker, my pleasant little equation, isn't it?). I am in the midst of an 800-pager right now. Christmas/winter holiday break was a good time to choose something of that magnitude, tbh.
Exactly! Most of the books I read this year turned out to be shorter than what I normally read so I got through extra stuff. I could definitely do more but I tend to hit points in my year where my work melts my brain and I have no extra mental capacity for reading. Makes me sad. Maybe I should switch to something really easy during those periods?
