Booking Through Thursday (a day late) wants to know if there are any reading resolutions out there for the New Year --
- Do you have a reading plan for the new year? Why or why not? I plan to read. That's about as specific as I can get! I have a list of things that have intrigued me lately, from one source or another, but no "plan." One of the reasons that I haven't (yet) gotten into a reading club is that I'm more a spur-of-the-moment reader these days, both in schedule and subject. I would like to develop a bit more self-discipline, though, so maybe a reading club, or some kind of plan at least, wouldn't be a bad idea.
- If you do, what is it? In hand is The Annotated Anne of Green Gables -- and other things I'm thinking about are Republic of Shade, by Thomas J. Campanella, John Kelly's The Great Mortality, a history of the 14th-century Black Plague, Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife, and Happiness: A History by Darrin M. McMahon.
The Time Traveler's Wife is well worth the read. My boss got hold of an ARC when it first came out and forced about a dozen of us to read it. Not all of us love it, but most of us.
