When choosing units to read in the upcoming weeks, I tried to diversify my selections as broadly as I could, apart from week 3 and 4 because I really enjoy reading about ancient Rome. On top of broadening my readings geographically, I tried to mix up the type of I will read. Some of the units I picked are collections of short stories unrelated one from another, while others I picked are longer epics about a key figure. By doing this, I hope to not only have the opportunity to read various different stories, but also have the opportunity to have fun with a variety of different ways of storytelling.
