Like every new year I pledge to read a bit more that the year before.
It doesn’t always work-out
For this year my goal is to read the astounding sum of 50 books, that is roughly one book per week.
But to make things more interesting I’m picking some heavy reads

That is the particular order I’m going to read them, some I have in print, others as e-book, but to say that is going to be a challenge is a bit of an understatement.
One particular book that will always be on my list is Frankenstein.
I will read it every year but in an different edition.
