How do you tackle large reading list?
I am looking for suggestions on how to tackle a large reading list (currently at 556). A big part (maybe smaller than I think) is a collection of Ann Rule, Stephen King and Star Trek novels (currently just the Pocket TOS and movie novelizations). The way I go about things is to just read whatever I am in the mood for. Makes it hard for me to keep a consistent reading progression. I do read by publication date.
I want to hear how others pick what to read. My current idea is to take a chunk of one selection and alternate with others in between.
there is a near limitless supply of text to read. if you start a book that feels too light or boring, ditch it. i think its worthwhile to read things you dislike or may not agree things from time to time, but its totally okay to abandon a book that you do not feel is worth your time. i say start with what interests you most! i think a good reading list is a mutable construct to give you ideas on what to read next and keep you from forgetting books you heard about, not necessarily a list to really kill. also you can remove books from it that dont interest you anymore, its not an assignment. i think a strong book lover will have a list that keeps growing throughout their life :)
Whatever is on top of the stack first. :)
I keep an ever expanding TBR. Every time I'm ready for a new book I use a random number generator to tell me what's next. Keeps things interesting and eliminates analysis paralysis. I completely agree with the suggestion to ditch books you're not enjoying. Life is too short for bad fiction.
when i have a long list i go with audio novels first and then read written versions if there's no audio version. that way i can "read" through my list while simultaneously working and burning time on social media. lol
I've started with the audio book series entitled: Anti Imperialism of Star Trek Deep Space Nine and then i think i'm going to read theory after that.
That's a good one :)
