Read about 1/3 of Les Mis in 2021. Will be reading from the beginning.

There are no failures; any reading is a triumph! This looks like a great list to start with!

You've got a lot of great ones on your list so far! I particularly recommend Persuasion, Treasure Island and Ender's Game. Enjoy!

Yeah, no failings, but I also understand. Youll have plenty to challenge yourself with, and then if you have more time and energy, you can read more for fun! I mean, this is supposed to be fun too, but like without the pressure and more spontaneous. :) All the best!

Ambition gets the best of all of us sometimes. I love your choices and hope it is just a great reading year for you!
