...building up that reading list. 📖

3/12 Edited to

Building up a reading list is a wonderful way to cultivate a lifelong habit of reading and enriching your mind. One approach I find particularly rewarding is to balance new discoveries with rereading old favorites. For instance, revisiting books from a renowned list such as 'EX.LBRIS 100+BOOKS REREAD AND READ' can refresh your perspective and deepen your understanding of the material. When selecting books, consider mixing genres and authors to keep your reading list diverse. I personally like to include a blend of contemporary fiction, classic literature, and nonfiction works that align with my interests. Adding books recommended by trusted critics, like Michiko Kakutani, known for her insightful literary reviews, can also guide you toward high-quality reads. To keep your reading list manageable and engaging, set realistic goals such as reading one or two books a month. Utilizing a reading journal or a digital app helps track your progress and reflect on what you’ve learned. Sharing your reading experiences within book clubs or online communities adds a social element that motivates me to stay consistent. Ultimately, building your reading list should be a personalized journey that reflects your evolving tastes and curiosities. Don’t hesitate to revisit books that impacted you in the past, as they often offer new lessons with each read. Happy reading!
