Starting today  — 1 year ago

So I’m starting today:
Goal: 4 book per month…
Problem… I just can’t believe it’s possible. But I’ll try. Hope that I’ll have a 4 item list to post in the beggining of October

Impossible task?  — 1 year ago

I think this goal is impossible…
I’ve been reading Charles Dickens – A tale of two cities… and it’s taking forever (Hard times took about 3 weeks… 19th century english is hard especialy if it’s not your mother language). Even Harry Potter toke about 5 days… how is it possible to read a book every week, if there are books with more than a 1000 pages? Can somebody really say that Don Quixote can be read in one week… or even two?
So I guess I’ll continue to try but I guess to achieve this goal I would have to choose book by their size… and I so do not want to do that!

Untitled  — 1 year ago

well I’m starting now. 52 books in 52 weeks… lets see how I handle this goal

Untitled  — 1 year ago

I think I’m achieving the goal of acumulating 52 books in my night stand… I’ll start trying this goal when I finish my exams… in the next month.. already made a reminder…

Carlos Marques has gotten 2 cheers on this goal.

 

I want to:
