Like -- Just for an example -- I want to play every video game, so I end up not playing none and instead just fucking around online with stuff that doesn't require initiative. The only override I've found is involving other people, I always make time for an RPG session with my friends or for hanging out and such. But I have trouble starting stuff for myself.

What do?

What were your favorite reads?

I’d be here for hours trying to list them all, so I’ll just do one for each category:

  • Classics: Howard’s End by E. M. Forster
  • Shakespeare: Henry IV, part 1
  • Sci-fi: Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke

Really there were dozens that stuck out, and two of my biggest takeaways were that great writing is timeless, and classic literature is far more approachable and relatable than you might think.

If you don’t know where to start, I recommend getting a copy of The New Lifetime Reading Plan.
