The discworld novels are a wonderful universe to explore 😀 I can only imagine how complex some of the references must have been as there is such a large universe to draw from.

And I like your approach to non-fiction and important people!

This is really important! To read for 'gist' and fluency. I think I read that this helps with syntax in the read language.

It can be hard but also having a pencil and notepad can be handy for words that repeatedly come up. I jot them down and at the end of a chapter or at a good break i look up those words. It takes discipline though to not start writing down every word!
