I’m currently reading Crime and Punishment right now, on Part 5. I stopped reading for a few months because I was busy with school and kinda just fell out of a routine, but I am working on fully getting back into reading after I had to read A Study In Emerald for a class and enjoyed it so much. I started reading in 2020, during the pandemic. I just figured I should start a new hobby or do something more productive if I have to stay home all day, and so the first book I decided to read was The Godfather. Ever since, I’ve been reading more of classic fiction books, self-help novels, also manga and light novels. How about you guys?
Our parents always read to us. I learned to read in kindergarten and always read books, growing up.
I learned to read French in school. Started reading French books in college.
I finally joined a book club a couple of years ago, which has been fun because it’s a great group of open-minded friends.
Currently reading:
“Mémoires d’Hadrien” (Hadrian’s Memoirs) by Marguerite Yourcenar. A highly praised, fictional account of the Roman emperor, looking back on his life. Hadrian was one of the five best Roman emperors, say historians.
It’s a bit of a slow moving slog, but it’s well written and I’m learning a lot about Roman history.
