Ok so here it is....
The thing that is going to set me apart...
LOL
Ok not really...
How many people have done this very same thing? Taken a list of books that others have deemed a "classic" or the "best" and read through them with vigor. How many people have taken this same idea and then written about it? I believe we call them critics.
Well I am NOT a literary critic. I am NOT an editor, reporter, or any other "or". I am just someone looking for a project. A thing to do. Something to accomplish that over dinner one night I can say, "Hey, you know I've been reading..." and have something interesting to talk about. So I'm gonna do it. I just went online and found an amazing list titled "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die".
Simple.
No time limits, no pressure. Just a list. So I'm Going to take this list and pick from it, out of order, in no particular sequence, and read. Read to my little hearts desire. I just finished ordering them. It felt kinda good.
What this project of mine is doing or will do for me, I don't know. Maybe nothing. Maybe I'll better my grammar. Maybe I'll learn a thing or two. Who knows. But I like the idea of a project. Something to do that I can do well.
Then, when I finish reading the book I will give my own personal....what do you call it....review? Sure I'm a big fat nobody. Who the hell is gonna care if I think the book is good or not? It doesn't matter. I will read it and give my opinion on it and then...well...then...that's that. I will tuck the book away and add it to my collection.
So there...
That's what I'll do...
Let's see what happens :)
