2021 Reading Challenge

2020 gave me a rare chance to start a reading journal. In the hindsight, I could do better by planning ahead and sticking to filtering rules .

Reading Theme: Health .
Narrow to fewer subjects: philosophy, psychology (neuro, ~~personality~~), linguistics (writing, classics, Latin, ~~French~~), UX design.
- I’ve got carried away with new random books that weren’t in the plan.
Prioritize mental model books over informative or entertaining ones.
- And I read too many fictions, too. Which weren’t bad but still not on the plan.
Create long-term reading lists: Great Books of the Western World Classic Literatures Shakespeare
- Read many of them: Jane Austen and Dystopia
2021 Reading Challenge and Year in Books
- Read: 18,347 pages/58 books.
- Average: 316 pages/book.
- I hit my goal of 52 books on August 22^nd due to lockdowns, but only read 6 more in 4 months.
