Day 2 -- 19 chapters {Grade:B-}
It is now merely 3 quarters of an hour till midnight, I decide here to post right from the get go and continually edit in the chapters being read, it is indeed an exercise in tedium, but the way I see it it's like reading with training wheels on in order to actually finish what i'm reading,
All of these readings will be from collected and complete works usually in the Delphi Classics line on my Kobo eReader, which shows how many pages are in each chapter, now some of the time there's not that neat division, when a large chunk is being read that may take more than a day to complete but will eventually appear on these lists.
My approach is just the novels and in the order they're presented which is usually chronological. So often these works aren't what these authors are mostly known for, one requires patience, and a bottomless desire to treat their work in its totality, each author is like a living breathing person, kept alive by the reader, and this is a tradition spanning in some cases centuries.

If most chapters are short I see no reason why I can't do 20 minimum chapters, unless it's a busy day for me which is rare. I can't even be bothered to check the mail with all the stuff I have to read.
Note -- have to read with an emphasis only on have, which implies that I'm not doing this at gunpoint, this really is my ideal way of spending time.
