I'm having some sort of mid(ish) life crisis here. I don't intend to get all whiny here but the upshot is that I'm just not doing lists and goals for the school year. I'm done. I am beginning to think that these reading goals are more like a security blanket. They are as much a distraction as anything else and I think there are probably other things I should be doing.
Now obviously, I'm going to keep reading. I like reading. I'm going to do it. But I'm going to read what I want, when I want, and as I think I ought to be for other things I'm working on. I think I'm just going to be having a year of getting my head in order. I'd like to keep the blogs up, if for no other reason than they help me think through what I think. I really love my list of books that everyone assumes I've read, and I'll probably keep picking at it, but I'm not going to be pushing it.
The goal is to stop worrying so much and figure out what I actually want. Then do that. It's scary....so I'm probably on the right track.
Tsundoku is a Japanese word that means to buy more books than anyone could possibly read. As a lifestyle it speaks to me as a pursuit of knowledge as a way of living.
