Read at least one book I already own and one book from the 1000 books to read before you die/grow up lists each month.

Might be more of a stage in your life thing than general life stages thing because fiction makes up about 60% of what I read well into my 30s. I only read 3 books published before 1900 this year, though - maybe you would find contemporary fiction a better balance of straightforward, informative, and enlightening. Or not - if you aren't into fiction, you aren't into fiction. No need to force it, but also doesn't make sense to me to extrapolate your preferences onto all readers. Everyone's different.

I'm sorry but your post currently counts as "shallow content." Do you have something else to say about the book that you could edit into the text? Preferably your own thoughts about the book or at the least a description of the book - without spoilers.

Let me know if you edit it & I can reinstate your post.
