Read 20 classics a year

1.) Robinson Crusoe – a dog chewed off the last chapter…nooo!
2.) Scar tissue
3.) The Beach

One of my other things is to read 50 books this year. 20 Of them should be classics.

Okay- I was an English major in college, and I didn’t finish, but I became an English major purely because I loved Literature. When I was growing up, I read 2-3 books a week, as I was an only child, and also learned to speed read (which is something I think most people do not know about me, and an wonderful talent- that I DON’T use). However, as I have gone into adulthood, I haven’t used this ability to my advantage, at ALL. So- for the remainder of 2007 (since we’re going into the Holiday months, and hey- there’s not much left, man), I’ve decided to read 5 classics for the end of this year, and 20 for the year 2008. I believe this will help to get my mind back where it was when I was reading so fluently, and that’s not such a bad place. I mark reading 5 classics before the end of the year as a mini-goal, and will celebrate it, maybe by going to the used bookstore, and buying more books for 2008:) That would rule! Anywho- yar, that’s the plan.

I consider myself reasonably with it, but was appalled at my poor completion of a suggested AP English summer reading list on LOB. And jeez, I’m in my 40’s.

Just began reading Dostoyevsky’s “The brothers Karamazov” last night.
