2010 Reading Goals

[sweet_sparrow]

Does anybody have any speficic reading goals for 2010? Big, small, if it's something you're aiming to do, it goes. Or am I just the weird one out? ^-~ (Hope the question doesn't break any rules, but it is book-related.)

I've set myself a few goals this year, though they're not particularly spectacular.

- read Corvus by Esther Woolfson
- read my coursebooks before term starts
- read more non-native English books

Not too many goals and most should be easy to accomplish, but... Well, they might not be. The last is going to be the most problematic. While I'm not a native speaker, I do read solely in English. Most of the books I have/want are, thus, by native speakers of English and I'd love to have a little more variety in my reading. Broaden my horizons and all. I'm not aiming to make a large chunk of my reading English translations, though, just to make that chunk larger than it is at the moment. ^-^

So. Anybody else have reading goals for 2010? ^-^

(Also, hi! I'm new to the community. ^-^ A really short intro of me/my tastes would be: "I read fantasy and I try to stay as far away from horror as I can. I like my night's rest. I'm trying to branch out my reading into other genres a little more. Other than that, I'm a student of English, focusing my courses on - surprise! - literature." Nice to meet you all!)

I've never actually read that. It's something I keep thinking I should read at some point but never do. *sighs* I suppose one day I will. Eventually. :)

You definitely should, but I'm biased. I'm a sucker for old detective stuff. (Much of which is out of print but that one, unfortunately, is not.) If you like the genre, http://www.munseys.com/ has a lot of great old pulps.

Hm, I'm pretty take it or leave it on detective fiction. Some of it like, some I don't. It really depends on the author, I suppose, although that's true of all genres.

I will check that link out, though, thank you. :)
