25 for the book asks?
25. What reading goals do you have for next year?
my reading goal for last year was just “read more :))” and i did! ive read like 15 more books this year than i did last year and i would like to keep that up in 2025. i want to keep chipping away at the sisyphean ideal of replacing 1-2 of my 10 daily hours of screentime with book time/actually systematically build reading into my daily routine/healthy habits etc.
another goal is to stop being such a bitch about new releases and read more books from the last 2-3 years. this is probably doomed bc part of the reason i never read anything new is i get all my books from used bookstores or the library so it’s harder to get hands on new stuff, and part of the reason is im mean and picky and i dont wanna bother with works that have not been vetted by 30-200 years of critical success. work in progress!
#approaching the hot literary novels of the 2020s with a closed mind and suspicious heart#a big part of the issue is that i really only enjoy contemporary fiction when the contemporary its commenting on is not contemporary anymore#read an acclaimed new release this year with a subplot that revolves around a character owning a tesla and was mad and bored#and then read 30 shirley jackson stories abt characters being Nervous About The Mileu Of The 50s and was captivated#i am not interested in the familiar! i know what the familiar is like!#anyway i still read a lot and that was good and i want to do it again.#asks#reading journal
