Reading books I want to read 300 books before I turn to thirty. (I wrote almost the same thing last April.) To achieve this goal, I'll have to read one book in three or four days. There are a lot of things which I have to know better. I currently even don't know the exact place of the prefectures of Japan. (If I'm told to point the exact place of Osaka, I can't, because I don't know.) I also don't know about Japanese history very well. In addition, I don't know exact place of European countries and their histories, though I learned at school many years ago. That's a serious problem for my life. I think I need more intelligence, so I decided to read more books. On the one hand, I also want to listen to music, drawing pictures, and do so many other things. But I don't think I can do them at once if I read the books at that pace. (I once told that putting "But" at the beginning of the phrase is incorrect, but I have no idea how to write.) However, if I could read the books rapidly, I might be able to shorten the time to reading books. There are a lot of seminars like "reading books quickly to improve our business skills", but they seems somewhat suspective. I don't want to spend money for that kind of seminars. Maybe I would rather shorten my sleeping times. (´・ω・`)

Reading books

I want to read 300 books before I turn to thirty. (I wrote almost the same thing last April.) To achieve this goal, I'll have to read one book in every three or four days.

There are a lot of things which I have to know better. I currently even don't know the exact place location of the prefectures of Japan. (If I'm told to point to the exact place location of Osaka, I can't, because I don't know.) I also don't know about Japanese history very well.  In addition, I don't know the exact place locations of European countries and or their histories, though I learned them at school many years ago. That's a serious problem for in my life. I think I need more intelligence, so I decided to read more books.

On the one hand, I also want to listen to music, drawing pictures, and do so many other things. But I don't think I can do them all at once if I read the books at that pace.  [Or, "I don't think I can do all those things at the same time that I'm reading books at that pace."]
(I was once told that putting "But" at the beginning of the phrase a sentence is incorrect, but I have no idea how to write.)  [I was told the same thing in school.  However, I think that in informal writing, starting a sentence with "but" is fine, especially if it keeps a sentence from being too long.]

However, if I could read the books rapidly, I might be able to shorten the time to I spend reading books. There are a lot of seminars like "reading books quickly to improve our business skills", but they seems somewhat suspective [or "suspicious"]. I don't want to spend money for on that kind of seminars [or "those kinds of seminars"]. Maybe I would rather shorten my sleeping times.

it would be better if reading while thinking.

Some people will tell you that it is not "proper" to begin a sentence with "but." But, people use it that way all the time. :)
