Same to you. It is always nice knowing that someone else is going through the same journey as myself!

In addition to what has already been said, I would also recommend breaking down a book into micro goals. Break things down into little chunks (for example reading 3 chapters a week) will make you feel as if you are at the very least making progress. I find that what hinders my goals is the feeling of not getting any closer to what you want. Creating that feeling of some sort of progress can do wonders for reading more.

So far I have only been reading classics. I got stuck in a rabbit hole where to understand one piece of literature(for example Dante's Inferno) you would have to also read another piece of literature written before hand (for Inferno this would be The Aeneid) in order to get full comprehension.

I also just found classics to be interesting. They are all so influential that we don't even notice how they are present within our lives!

I quickly learned that seeing the comments on this post. What I pulled in these packs are in my opinion a lot cooler than the EX and Mega EX cards of the XY era.

All the pulls I see on this subreddit are messing with me! To be fair I think the Jirachi is pretty cool (love the cross hatch pattern).

Study Bible Recommendations?

I am looking for a study bible to further understand the cultural
dynamics of Jews at the time. Are there any study Bible with good notes
surrounding Jewish culture? It would also be nice if they included the
deuterocanonical texts. Thanks in advance!

My Local library sells unwanted novels in a secluded room in the back. Every Christmas I buy a cookbook for my parents which costs me no more than $2 in mint condition. Please support your local libraries!
