Reading Goals

What films and books I plan on reading or watching this semester:

Books
Films 
  • The Watsons go to Burmingham - Christopher Paul Curtis
  • Pulp Fiction
  • To kill a mockingbird
  • Rocky
  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
  • Spartacus
  • Inferno   
How can you challenge yourself to read more?

I am a slow reader and tend to fall asleep once I'm 2 pages into my reading section. But there has been books where I have actually finished the book fully, understood it, and loved it. Those books are To Kill A Mockingbird, and Bud Not Buddy, these two books have one thing in common and that is racism. So this semester not really to challenge myself more, but to actually read 4 books in 1 semester would be a new record for me, which is a challenge that I would like to achieve. Maybe a challenge I would try to make myself read more is to set an amount of pages that I have to read everyday, almost like its an assignment.

How can you change your routine to include reading more regularly?

I need to reduce the amount of time I spend in front of a screen productively, I need to get my work done, whatever I need to do with the computer, close it and pick up the book. Because once I start reading a book that I actually enjoy I get hooked, and once I do, reading regularly won't be a problem.
