I do not make resolutions on New Year's Eve, but I do inevitably take a moment to reflect upon the year that has passed and examine some areas of my life I may have neglected and could improve. One such area is reading. As I mentioned in earlier post, I have been an extremely poor reader in the last two or three years, averaging about six or seven books a year. Now, I refuse to set concrete reading goals, but I have decided that I certainly need to get back to reading more. Thus, I will reinvest time and energy into a pursuit that was once as natural and effortless for me as breathing. Here is a partial list of a few books I would like to read or reread in the coming months:
Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamozov; Demons
Dickens - David Copperfield
The New Testament, especially the Gospel of John
Eliot - Middlemarch, Silas Marner
St. Augustine - The City of God
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations
Christopher Dawson - some work or other
Sándor Márai - a novel or two in the original Hungarian
Bulgakov - Master and Margerita (in Hungarian)
Hungarian poetry - no specific authors or works determined yet
That should be good for a start. The rest I will leave up to fate.
