Oh my goodness me…

5 years ago, I ambitiously made a list of 57 books that I planned reading by January 2023. Worryingly enough, it is somehow already December 2022.

So here are some books from the list that I actually own, and haven’t read yet. This is a much abridged version of the full list – I’m also not including the books that I have read and have not reviewed (all three of them, but whatever).

We have 18 days and 18 books. Let’s see what we can do (it’s actually 19 – we have yet one more book to finish, not listed here..)

1.Homer, The Odyssey

2.Plato, Gorgias

3.The Prose Edda/ The Poetic Edda

4. Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
