After i listed 30 books to be read, i lamentingly thought of others which i'm in the midst of reading and i just want to get this out in the open that maybe not all those 30 will be read in that time frame of 105 days.

The core of which are these

1 - 6 My Struggle - 6 volumes, last one is really long
7 Don Quixote
8 - 21 Thomas Bernhard's novels and there's other collections and one with pictures based on a film you can see on YouTube called 3 Days
22 Ducks, Newburyport - i started this right after making that list, knowing i got to have a long one in the mix immediately, and damn, it's mostly one long sentence for a thousand pages!!!
23 Gravity's Rainbow - i love the reputation it has for being for the 2nd half of the 21st century what Ulysses was for the first half
24 Infinite Jest - this just looks like a hell of a lot of fun in a smarty pants way
25 The Recognitions - a meditation of what's real and what's not, and really long
26 Under the Volcano - a depressing look at alcoholism
27 - 29 Cormac McCarthy
30 - 32 Knut Hamsun

So i might whiddle down the Bernhards, who says i gotta get all of him read in such a short span of time, maybe just 2 or 3 .... so there can be room for the shorter works by Hilbig, Paul Leppin, and the usual rotation of poets, Christianity, philosophers etc

The challenge that abides is to time myself reading, to always be doing that as long as i'm reading with the chromebook on my lap, and to see my RT year come to fruition, it's currently 2pm on January 1st
