In today’s post, I’ll be talking about the books that I really want to read before I die. Let me start by saying that these are not all of the books I want to read. These are the books that I think are most important for me to read before I am reincarnated as an illiterate naked molerat. No offense intended to any literate naked molerats out there who can read this. The books I list here are ones that I believe will have the most meaning to me or will be the most important for me to read. A lot of these will be older works that I believe to be influential in the literary space, but that I still haven’t read. At least one of them, though, is one that will be a deeply personal read for me.

Today, I’m going to talk not about what’s on my reading list, but about how I organize my reading list to make sure that I don’t just read what I want to, but that I read often and don’t get burned out from reading, which is something that I’ve experienced in the past on a few occasions. In some cases, a reading burnout has led to months or even years of me not reading (and is a big part of why I think that most lists of required reading for literature classes are dreadful and poorly optimized, at least from what I’ve both experienced and heard). So, how do I organize my reading list to make sure that I’m getting the most out of my experience? Let’s get into it!

Today, I thought it would be fun to talk about my current reading list for 2022. Doing TBRs has never really appealed to me for this channel, even though I tend to enjoy that content from creators I love. It isn’t the sort of thing I want to do regularly, because I have so much else that I want to talk about. However, I think that an annual TBR could be fun! That’s what I’m setting out to do today. In this post, I’ll be talking about all of the books that I plan to read in 2022. Here we go!
