Here are three sentences expressing the future:
1) I like this play very much and, maybe, I'll study another novel or play by Thornton Wilder, e.g. Heaven's My Destination or The Skin of Our Teeth.
2) I like this play very much and, maybe, I am going to study another novel or play by Thornton Wilder, e.g. Heaven's My Destination or The Skin of Our Teeth.
3) I like this play very much and, maybe, I'll be studying another novel or play by Thornton Wilder, e.g. Heaven's My Destination or The Skin of Our Teeth.
Which one would you prefer? My problem is the adverb maybe expressing possibility or uncertainty regarding the future, which doesn't correspond with will or be going to in my opinion. How is this sentence in good English?
