How to Build a Reading Year
A gentle framework for choosing books without turning reading into a quota.
How to Build a Reading Year
A reading year works best when it begins with appetite rather than obligation. Start with a few questions: what do you want to understand, where do you want to travel, and which voice have you missed?
Leave room for detours. A recommendation from a friend or a book discovered beside the one you intended to buy can reshape the whole season.
Keep a short record of sentences, not scores. Memory grows around language more readily than ratings.
A note to carry forward
Keep the thought close, but leave enough room for the next book to complicate it.
