I've had a perpetual problem with owning books that I never get around to reading, even going so far as to relegate the unread books to their own shelf. I'm constantly finding new books I want to read, despite having a sizable backlog, and decided that this year I should try to clear the pipes. I decided to set aside 30 minutes before bed each evening for reading, and going at a little over a page a minute, with an average book being about 400 pages (a little bit of a high estimate, but there are a few long ones on the shelf), that brings it to about 27 books per year. I've got 32 on the \"unread\" shelf, but thankfully airports provide an excellent environment for distraction free reading; in the first three weeks I've already gone through three books, putting me at about twice the baseline pace. If everything stays on track, this should be my most literary year in a long time.<\/p>\n

My partial list for this year is below, the finished ones are crossed out. Once I've got my bookshelf in front of me I'll add the rest I've already got lined up, but I'm definitely open to suggestions if something integral is missing! I've only got 7\u00a0non-fiction books on the list at present, so if you have a favorite, let me know!<\/p>\n
