there is a near limitless supply of text to read. if you start a book that feels too light or boring, ditch it. i think its worthwhile to read things you dislike or may not agree things from time to time, but its totally okay to abandon a book that you do not feel is worth your time. i say start with what interests you most! i think a good reading list is a mutable construct to give you ideas on what to read next and keep you from forgetting books you heard about, not necessarily a list to really kill. also you can remove books from it that dont interest you anymore, its not an assignment. i think a strong book lover will have a list that keeps growing throughout their life :)

Thank you for that wisdom.
Also, never take recommendations from sites like Lemmy or Reddit. If you ask the average internaut what they recommend, they'll come out with the most pretentious thing they can think of, rather than admitting they're powering through all 25 Jack Reacher novels lol
There's 25 of those? Goddamn. Might have to start those after I'm done with the Horus Heresy.
Whatever is on top of the stack first. :)
I keep an ever expanding TBR. Every time I'm ready for a new book I use a random number generator to tell me what's next. Keeps things interesting and eliminates analysis paralysis. I completely agree with the suggestion to ditch books you're not enjoying. Life is too short for bad fiction.
when i have a long list i go with audio novels first and then read written versions if there's no audio version. that way i can "read" through my list while simultaneously working and burning time on social media. lol
I've started with the audio book series entitled: Anti Imperialism of Star Trek Deep Space Nine and then i think i'm going to read theory after that.
That's a good one :)
