How about two?

For you, what is the purpose of reading fiction, what do you gain from it?

>Image - Train yourself and become a better image of yourself.
>Learn - Read in separate categories pertaining to your self-improvement and the pure work of writing.
>Speak - Present a better presence of self, in areas of sociability, intellectualism and personality.
>Love - Enact and practice in a sense of self that instills in others an urge of want; practice also this art with others.
>Hope - Bloomers forever, you know what to do.

These are my five resolutions /lit/, what are yours?
