As new year’s resolutions go “reading more” is probably pretty low on the list in the national average. And while I didn’t get to some of the things that have been in my reading pile – No Logo still sits there, bookmark unmoved – I did manage nine non-fiction books in 2005.
The resolution remains the same: read, more and more variously. No Logo remains, as does Bushworld. The Noonday Demon is an emotionally hard read in addition to being long and dense. Even though it’s only 67 pages long, On Bullshit promises to be just as dense.
Thus we start off the year with a compelling bit of fiction.

I’m starting off the year with a couple of favs. Ruth Rendell and PD James. Solitare looks really interesting….I’m going to put it on the list.
Like I said the other day….it really is about the balance. Danmit!

Out of curiousity, what books did you finish last year?
My reading resolution for 06 is to finally finish Anna Karenina, which i’ve started 4 different times, then my adult A.D.D. led me down some other rabbit hole.
You should read American Gods by Neil Gaiman if you haven’t already, closely followed by Anansi Boys next. Great books.
