Sree reading in 2021

[Shuva]

I really have 3 main reading challenges this year

1. Reduce that ridiculous TBR - both physical and digital
2. If I am not enjoying a book - let it go. It's OK to DNF
3. Read at least 50 books this year

Sub goals, as it were, would be -
1. Snakes and Ladders Challenge in this group
2. Read more Indian Authors in English as well as regional, which for me would be Bengali
3. Finish reading the Ice and Fire series - I have the last two books left and also Fire & Blood
4. Read at least 6 classics
5. Read at least 1 of Shakespeare's plays
6. Graphic novels

Sure! That would be fun!
If you let me know what you have already read then we could pick something together

Thanks, Gorab! I'll probably increase the number of books later in the year but usually around Dussehra to end of the year my reading doesn't go too well. Hence, the conservative estimate :-DD

I've read Merchant of Venice too. I've also read Julius Caesar, As you like it, Midsummer Night's Dream
I was thinking of Hamlet, Macbeth or Othello. What do you think?

[Leena]
