Books read in 2019
Dec. 20th, 2019 12:26 amSo today I look at what I have read on Goodreads and was pretty surprised to see that I had only read between 30 and 40 books this year. I feel bad for having spent too much time procrastinaing instead of doing anything productive but I do feel that I sometimes rush myself so much into reading books that I just lose any kind of enjoyment in the process.
However, my Goodreads this year is also pretty unorganized because I have become terribly inactive. When I looked through my shelf, I see that most of the Pratchett's books I have read this year did not have a finish date and that there were so many books that were marked read even though I have not read them. When I finished with organizating them, the books read in 2019 were 42. It is probably inaccurate because I don't think that I have added everything into my bookshelf and definitely not with the appropriate date.
It was interesting to look back at the books I have read this year. I kept feeling like I had read this book years ago but it turned out, I read it at the beginning of this year.
Because I am not going to do much in my winter break because I don't celebrate Solar New Year or Christmas, I have put up a list of what I will read in two weeks, which are four novels by Dickens, the Iliad (I have read the one translated into my native language but have never read the translation done by Fagles) and Moby Dick. Knowing me, I will probably procrastinate and spend most of the time sleeping. Hopefully, I will get through the Iliad and at least A tale of two cities by the time the winter break ends.
