>making a list of what you're going to read
i can almost guarantee that it won't be followed; new books come out; you find out about new books; some of the books you listed are too difficult or boring; you lose interest in the books on the list.

I have The Count of Monte Cristo waiting for me to finally get motivated enough.
There's also complete works of William Hope Hodgson that I plan to go through. I've read some, but it's the kind of work I need to take a break from after reading one story and come back after some time to read another.
Still haven't finished Cheri-Bibi series, so that's a must.
Otherwise I'll re-read Fantômas and read whatever anons might recommend.

>Propaganda (Ellul)

>Psychopolitics

After I'm finished with those I'll go on a Baudrillard binge

That's why I thought that making a list on /lit/ will motivate me to keep going through it. I'm going to screencap it and put it somewhere on display where I'll see it everyday in order to grow my resolve in reading them all. Sure, some of the books are probably going to turn out boring and I might find new ones, but this is my guideline to 2021.
