I read quite a bit if junk in 2010 and didn't read nearly as many books as I should have, but my 2011 goal is to read 50 books. I know it will be quite a challenge especially because that means I will have to read over twice as many books as I read in 2010 but I feel that I am up for it. I also plan to read a better quality of book in 2011. Though I did enjoy the Harris series, it really isn't very well written and Ann Rice is just crazy.
I am also trying to read all the books on the BBC list of 100 books everyone should read. In 2010 I read eight books off of that list:
Anna Karenina- Tolstoy
The Kite Runner- Hosseini
The Bell Jar- Plath
Rebecca- Du Maurier
The Time Traveler's Wife- NiffeneggerTess of the D’Urbervilles- Hardy
Brideshead Revisited-Waugh
Dracula- Stoker
Ready, Set, Read 2011!!!
