Dear teacher,
Which of the following two sentences is grammatical and idiomatic? To me, sentence 1 sounds right but is there a grammatical rule that says sentence 2 is wrong?
1. I thought of writing in this diary, and then to read "Scarlet Letter".
2. I thought of writing in this diary, and then of reading "Scarlet Letter".
Thank you very much
