When Good Intentions Aren't Good Enough

Some of you may remember that at the beginning of the year, I talked about reading one classic book per month as a new year's resolution. I actually did pretty good for awhile. In January, I read Jane Eyre. In February, I read Wuthering Heights. In March, I started to read Vanity Fair. That's as far as it went. I started. My good intention wasn't good enough. I just wasn't motivated anymore. I was bored with the classics. I didn't really like any of the books. Jane Eyre was all right, but I didn't like it as well as the movie. Classics are often slow-moving and dry. Enter the end of my good intention. I once heard about goal-guessing as opposed to goal-setting. When I stopped reading my book, I looked at my goal as a guess rather than as a set thing. I want to know what you all think of my decision to stop reading the classics. I haven't stopped reading, believe me. I read Christian Romance Fiction, I read my books for school, and I also read magazines. Am I totally lame, can you relate, or is my plight understandable? Please let me know.



Yep, I'm frustrated.
