I have
mentioned in my book related confessions that I am an organized person.
I don’t like being confused of choosing a book to read next after finishing the
last one; I don’t have time to do that either! In the little time I have, I
must optimize my reading, right? So, early every year—actually I start it on
the end of previous year—I would create a reading schedule for the whole year.
Right now, I
have three personal reading projects that run simultaneously: The Classics Club, WEM Self-Project, and 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. Not mentioning other reading challenges and reading events I’d be
participating or hosting. So, actually it’s not too difficult to create a
reading list of what I would read the whole year.
As I already
know my average reading speed, I can set average maximum pages I would read in
every month. I also arrange to put serious and lighter books together in the
same month to make it balanced. I don’t make the schedule too tight, so that,
if suddenly I crave to read one new published book, for instance, I can make
room for it between the scheduled books.
What if I
couldn’t make all of it in the end of year or even in particular month? Well….it’s
my own schedule anyway, I am prepared to modify it every now and then to fit my
recent pace and schedule.
What about
you? Are you a well organized read like me, or are you a moody person who must
always choose what book to read next?

Oh, good. I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only person who is a bit methodical in their approach to reading. I enjoyed reading your post and am glad I'm not alone!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm relieved too that at least another blogger shares my habit! :)
