I keep an ever-growing reading list, but for 2010 I want to get through all the Hugo Award winning novels I haven't read. If it's part of a series, I'm going to read the entire thing.
Oh, and one classic per month as well. |

I've never been much of a reader of the pbook variety beacuse of the losing page location, feeling of paper, curvature of the pages, smell of chemicals in ink, etc... With that said, I purchased a PRS-600 and started out with Atlas Shrugged at the suggestion of my wife since she claims I'm her "John Galt". Once done with that, I'll probably move onto Homer's Iliad, then onto other classics. I like the free stuff!

Since getting my BeBook and finding MR the thing I like best is how much my reading habits have expanded. I've read so many new authors and genres that I would probably never have if I was still wandering into bookstores and choosing pbooks by browsing.
So my resolutions would not be any specific lists or titles but rather to keep reading as much as I have and to keep expanding my reading habits. Oh, except for the Dresden Files! I have read six and definitely going to read the rest! Loving them. Cheers, PKFFW |

Ya know, my resolution SHOULD be not to read the lists you folks put out here....You're always mentioning authors & titles that sound intriguing & then I go out & find them...add them to my library & TBR list! I've finished my 1st compilation of books, converted & ready to read, & they number over 1700 now....You people just have to stop talking about all these 'good reads'!!!

You better get cracking on this, because the new list of nominees for 2010 will be coming out soon. Have fun!

I'm with you there. More than a dozen or so and they are in the "other books" category for me.

I never intended to have such a long list. It's all fictionwise's fault - too many splendid offers. Hopefully by 2012 I'll have it down to a manageable length!

I think if you STOP buying ebooks for two years and only read them you have a chance of catching up. BOb |

At my present rate of 1 to 1.5 books a week my list is not going to get much shorter but I plan to keep up my variety approach by mixing thrillers, scifi/fantasy, humour, and the odd non-fiction into the mix. BTW, my birthday is in May as well, so the Sony reader must be a favorite of those born in May |
