message 17: by Shay (last edited Dec 29, 2011 04:51PM) (new)

Shay | 923 comments I think I'm going to go with 10 books (Easy) to start. I can always adjust. One of my goals in 2011 was to read more current/recently published books, so I've read a lot of the books from GR Choice list that I wanted to read already. Plus, I have to exclude a lot of the books that are part of series or are just stuff I don't want to read. (Like poetry. I like poetry, but I'm not wild about modern poetry. To me, if it's great, people will still be reading it in a decade or two and I'll catch it then. I'd rather not read someone's emotional dreck writer's workshop garbage.)
