My goal in the #2020ClassicsCommunity reading challenge is to read one to two chapters per day. If I can manage to read between 5 to 8 chapters a week, I should be able to read more. But perhaps more importantly, I'll stay immersed in a book and enjoy the reading experience more.

More goals for the #2020ClassicsCommunity reading challenge: I do want to blend NEW-TO-ME titles with NEW-TO-ME authors all the while not forgetting my absolute favorite and best authors and titles. I am A REREADER.

A man always can do right, even though he has done wrong before. But that previous wrong adds so much difficulty to the path — a difficulty which increases in tremendous ratio, till a man at last is choked in his struggling, and is drowned beneath the waters. Trollope

If the ears be too delicate to hear the truth, the mind will be too perverse to profit by it. Anthony Trollope

I think it is more proper-looking & better suited too for the world’s work, when it goes about with some sort of a garment on it. We are so used to a leaven of falsehood in all we hear and say nowadays that nothing is more likely to deceive us than the absolute truth. Trollope

Everyone must look out for himself, and the best time is had by those who're best able to deceive themselves. Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Classics Club

"We've got facts," they say. But facts aren't everything: at least half the battle consists in how one makes use of them! Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Classics Club

We've got accustomed to making do with other people's intelligence--we're soaked in it! Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Classics Club
