I don’t know how realistic this is for me, given my schedule. But I definitely waste a lot of time. It would be great to reclaim some of that time for reading things that are important to me.
Books I’ve read at least half of, then abandoned:
War and PeaceMoby DickThe Education of Henry Adams (Hated it. Maybe I’d like it now?)
Pantagruel (finished Gargantua, though)
Meditations on First PhilosophyConfessions (Rousseau)
The Canterbury TalesFaustThe Scarlett LetterThe Ambassadors (stopped 20 pages before the end!)
Confessions of a Mask
etc.
The sad thing is, I was enjoying most of those, but somehow I let myself get derailed before finishing. With slightly altered habits, I can correct this….
