Now is the time to start thinking, planning, gathering, and preparing for your reading and self-education in 2006. You know, if you aim at nothing, you will hit it everytime.
January 1 will be here in, what?, 31 days!
I have been planning my reading for several years, and it has made a world of difference even though I'm never without a book in hand. A plan, a system---flipping around what Alexander Pope said, I say "Without a plan, you have a mighty maze."
We need a variety of selections.....
---for our hearts, some inspiration, some fluff, some brain candy;
---for our souls, some constancy, some daily reads;
---for our intellects, some meat.
Right on.
Some things on my list for January:
Daily Mass readings.
Rice's statistics textbook, because I need to learn a LOT of probability.
Stephenson's Quicksilver, because I'd like to eventually someday finish it.
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, ditto.
