I'm going to continue my streak of not reading female "authors".

I want to study at least two hours a day, everyday, for the entire year. Replacing my current method of just studying completely at random whenever I feel like it.

But it's more /sci/ than /lit/. I will probably need to read more as well though to lengthen my attention span.

Learn enough attic greek that I can read Plato

My plans for 2025 include reading and studying old and middle Dutch and literary works written in middle Dutch as barely any old Dutch works exist. Mainly epic poetry like Karel ende Elegast and Van Sente Brendane. On my reading list are also a 1926 Dutch verse translation of the Nibelungenlied, Tolstoj's Anna Karenina and Flaubert's Madame Bovary. This year I also started to seriously study the Bible and I plan to continu that in the new year as well.

I won't pick up another language and will continue to focus on French
I will read more English literature
Currently I read 1 hour of French literature a day and english literature barely anything but I want to aim for 1 hour of French literature and 1 hour of english literature each day, possibly only 30 minutes for english on very busy days
It's a challenge but I've done it after pulling 12 hour shifts at my minwage manual labour job so maybe it's ok as an aspirational goal
Ever since I read Soumission by Houellebecq I've been inspired by the protagonist's ideas about the joys of reading an author's corpus
I made an attempt of that with Maupassant this year but eventually burned out after reading 9 of his short story collections and I may try to continue it

I swear /lit memed me into buying the same edition, but I will start the book during the summer at best. I wont plan anything a year ahead, though hoping that my pace will be at least book a month.

Start writing and keep up my reading rythmn from this year.

>>24968307
will reduce my reading goal to 12, which will then be one large book each month ( gr, ij, etc)
