I had a day idle a few days ago and planned to finish the first book of the hunger games trilogy. I was at the half of second part so there was about 120 more pages to go. I ended up hanging out with friends and watched movie (not songbird and snake), and regretted that I didn’t went for my reading goal. My friend just told me quit reading it since it’s not enjoyable to you. I subjectively think i enjoyed, the characterisation to Katniss was masterpiece. Or does setting and caring about reading goal by pages says I’m sub-conciously not enjoying it?
I often set reading goals, even for books I love. I don’t believe that it’s a reflection of not truly liking the work, as there are a myriad of responsibilities and distractions that can keep you from reading as much as you wanted to. It can keep you motivated and focused.
