Valid point. I'm sure there are people who would approach this that way. At the same time, I feel if you are interested enough to go through the whole thing and still brag about it that way, than you read them wrong :)

At the point I am at life I don't yet know what I'm deeply interested in, so this is a way for me to get general education, get some exposure to variety of texts that have been written across time and see if anything spark joy. I'm not planning to pain through the books. If I'm not enjoying something I can freely skip. If something sparked interest, I'll be sure to reevaluate the list.

Thanks for the typo note, fixed it.




Some of my motivation for posting is sour grapes, I'm sure -- I read so very slowly. But it sounds like you're going in with the right attitude. Enjoy the journey!
