Out with the old, in with the new.
So, I beat myself up for awhile because I couldn't get through the Odyssey. Then I remembered that this is for fun. So I'm taking down the old list, it's saved on my computer for reference, I'm just gonna list the books I am reading. The challenge is to read 100 books I've never read, but I keep finding new books I want to read, and then guilting myself for not having read the ones on my list. That's dumb. It's one of the characteristics I want to work on changing. So I am going to instead post a list of books I HAVE read. That way there's no pressure. I'm currently working on three. Reviews to follow!
