How do you tackle large reading list?
How do you tackle large reading list?
I am looking for suggestions on how to tackle a large reading list (currently at 556). A big part (maybe smaller than I think) is a collection of Ann Rule, Stephen King and Star Trek novels (currently just the Pocket TOS and movie novelizations). The way I go about things is to just read whatever I am in the mood for. Makes it hard for me to keep a consistent reading progression. I do read by publication date.
I want to hear how others pick what to read. My current idea is to take a chunk of one selection and alternate with others in between.
You're viewing a single thread.
there is a near limitless supply of text to read. if you start a book that feels too light or boring, ditch it. i think its worthwhile to read things you dislike or may not agree things from time to time, but its totally okay to abandon a book that you do not feel is worth your time. i say start with what interests you most! i think a good reading list is a mutable construct to give you ideas on what to read next and keep you from forgetting books you heard about, not necessarily a list to really kill. also you can remove books from it that dont interest you anymore, its not an assignment. i think a strong book lover will have a list that keeps growing throughout their life :)
Thank you for that wisdom.
Also, never take recommendations from sites like Lemmy or Reddit. If you ask the average internaut what they recommend, they'll come out with the most pretentious thing they can think of, rather than admitting they're powering through all 25 Jack Reacher novels lol
There's 25 of those? Goddamn. Might have to start those after I'm done with the Horus Heresy.
