Here were my goals for April (below). I read three novels. I did not finish Deathworld 3. I will try to get that done in May. I did get started on Dumarest 17 though, and I’ll finish it early in May. Maybe tonight.
I have been reading at least an hour each night. I try to start at 8pm, a but sometimes I don’t really get started until 9pm. The old me would have just gotten mad and sulked. But I’m learning that even 15 minutes of reading every day is better than none. Some days (most) it is the only one of my pastimes I really get to enjoy at all, so 15 minutes is valuable.
Week 1, April 2-8: Read Dumarest of Terra #16. Finished April 9
Week 2, April 9-15: Read Sargasso of Space. Finished April 21
Week 3, April 16-22: finish reading Deathworld 3
Week 4, April 23-29: Logan’s Run. Finished. Began Dumarest 17
When I finish Dumarest 17 I’ll spend probably 2 weeks reading Dan Simmon’s Endymion. I don’t want to rush through it. The Hyperion Cantos is quality SF. Well-written, sophisticated, big ideas. I want to really enjoy it.
