This week was such a fail in terms of reading for the specific purposes of this project.
Pride and Prejudice seems so daunting. I've read (actually
read) Jane Austen before (
Emma, btw) and remember it being very difficult to get through, so I think a part of me is just too intimidated to get started. Granted I was a lot younger then, and didn't really have the patience that reading this kind of old, "proper" English requires. Anyway, to help the process along, I've decided to set a schedule for reading
Pride and Prejudice. At this point I'm aiming for one chapter a day, five days a week. I may adjust according to how into the book I get once I've started it, but for now my plan looks like this:
Pride and Prejudice Reading Schedule
Dates | Chapters |
April 24 - April 30 | 1 - 5 |
May 1 - May 7 | 6 - 10 |
May 8 - May 14 | 11 - 15 |
May 15 - May 21 | 16 - 20 |
May 22 - May 28 | 21 - 25 |
May 29 - June 4 | 26 - 30 |
June 5 - June 11 | 31 - 35 |
June 12 - June 18 | 36 - 40 |
June 19 - June 25 | 41 - 45 |
June 26 - July 2 | 46 - 50 |
July 3 - July 9 | 51 - 55 |
July 10 - July 16 | 56 - 61 |
Three months seems like an awfully long time to be reading a book, but I feel like if I take the pressure to read it and finish it and finish it NOW! off, I might actually get some reading done.
