My Reading Resolutions for 2010
Well, the pile of "to be read" books doesn't seem to have got any smaller...or any tidier!
First of all, did I succeed in any of my resolutions for last year? I think I bought fewer books but I daren't check this on my Amazon account. I said I would finish the Frederica Quartet by A.S. Byatt - which I did (and enjoyed very much). I also listed four books I vowed to read:
A Prayer for Owen Meany - read it! loved it!
The Golden Notebook - read it! loathed it!
I didn't read Sacred Games - was put off by the 950 pages and I started to read The Master and Margarita but decided to put it forward as a book for our Reading Group and would read it then.
So for 2010 my resolutions are:
READ THREE BOOKS FROM MY SHELVES FOR EVERY NEW BOOK I BUY!!!
Tackle Robert Bolano's 2666. This is massive but I must take up the challenge. It was originally written as five books to be published separately so I will take it on one book at a time.
Also to be read:
Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra
A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz
The Honourable Schoolboy by John Le Carre
