Literary Goals
Read a book per week. (Or an hour a day)
Read more in Greek and Spanish
Read more books on my craft and other relevant skills
Read more of writers' work I have previously enjoyed, for the purpose of exposure, enjoyment, inspiration, and hopefully a light subconscious influence.
Read more plays and screenplays.
To me, there is an essential poetry in lists. Their alignment is visually comforting, and their brevity takes out the noise of speaking. They also track progress, promote memory, and solidify taste.
