Have you started? How far have you read, Milan?

William wrote: "Read LOTR & Sillmarillion... Without being bored to death!"

We do have Silmarillion in the library collection. I must say I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it and I looked it up. Personally I find Tolkien's descriptions over the top.

Good challenge, Sunny, let us know how you go.

It's interesting to think about how many translations there are for classics, and how different they are from each other. I have a copy of War and Peace in Russian at home which will sadly never be read by anyone in my house.

What is your personal wider reading goal for this year:
It might include your intention to read in a range of different genres and/or formats, to read books by a particular author; to share & discuss books & reading with a family member and/or friend, etc.
Keep it realistic as you will be expected to monitor your progress as you go.
