Right now I have nowhere near the amount of discipline it would take to focus on five books all year.

I usually just read a book, but I have started reading the cliff notes as I read Great Expectations. I did the same thing when I read Tale of Two Cities and really enjoyed it. This year instead of going for a reading goal, I was intending to write about the books I read. Hasn't quite happened the way I wanted, but its been more enjoyable.
As for the 5 books, thats tough. I do reread some books, but not a lot of them. I stuck to actual books here and not ebooks. Its really got me thinking about the books I really like. Not to mention the convenience of ebooks. I like have the complete works Poe and Dickens in my pocket!
1. The Collected Storie of Arthur C. Clark
2. Edgar Allen Poe Collected Works...Sadly I would need to replace my book as its just falling apart. Can't bear to part with it.
3. History of the World by Roberts
4. Tale of Two Cities by Dickens
5. Isaac Asimov The Complete Stories vol 1
