Eccomi, fellow italiano

so /lit/, did you have any specific plans literature-wise for this year? did you/will you achieve it in this last 4 months?

do you have any plans for 2018?

what are the major works you enjoyed the most this year?

will start
>didn't have any specific plans besides learning italian, just wanted to read as much good literature as I could. could've been better but I'm okay with what I've read so far. I believe I will reach fluency in italian by the end of the year.

>next year I want to focus on non-fic, been reading lots of memes that kind of distracted me from philosophy and theology. also want to reach fluency in french and spanish by 2019

>ulysses, moby dick

sorry if it is too much of a blog-post, but I enjoy sharing and reading other people's plans

What do you do when a book becomes too tedious to finish? I'm reading The Divine Comedy. Book went from good to fantastic until the beginning of Paradise. Not only the fated encounter between Dante and Beatrice was so overwhelming, nothing in this part of the book is exciting or interesting. And even if present in earlier parts of the book, it seems Paradiso just keeps getting entangled between it's characters and stories, none of which being interesting enough.

Does it get good? Should i just stop and go to another book? I really like classics, loved Don Quixote, but it's becoming a chore to finish this one.

Is that all the same publisher? What is this sorcery?
