Time to get going on this. I’m going to start on Sunday, picking one of the fugues and playing it for an hour. And continuing on every week. I do need to find the music before then, which may involve a trip to my storage unit.

Okay, it’s decided: I’m going to start out trying Le Petit Prince.
And I’m also going to pick up a graphic novel or two on the suggestion of my friend Kait, which I think is a brilliant idea.
Wish me luck! (At this point I still don’t know any French.)
I’ve tried reading Les Mis several times, and I get about 200 pages in before I get distracted and forget to keep reading it.
I’m not sure I’m ready to start yet, since I’m having trouble finishing even much smaller books this month. So I think I’ll keep putting this off for a while.
But I will at least find the book so it will be ready for me when I am finally ready for it!
