Hi everyone. Scott Esposito is doing a series of Reading Resolutions for 2009 over at The Quarterly Conversation, and my post is now up.

I’ve deviated a little from my list: I reread Notes from the Underground right after Christmas and am now into part four of The Idiot. I cannot believe I read that in high school.

Anyone have any reading lists they want to share?

      I haven’t done a reading list yet but I want to now….and this (“In the past, I’ve tried to have several kinds of books going at once: a classic, a contemporary, and a book of nonfiction.”) is such a good idea! thanks!

      Good list, Ryan. I’m reading WAR & PEACE right now. It’s fresh air. Also reading now:

      ZIZEK & THEOLOGY by Adam Kotsko, a “college buddy”
      THE DAIN CURSE by Dashiell Hammett, which is pretty racially strained
      LESS SHINY by Mary Miller, again and again

      On Sunday I finished WASTE by Eugene Marten and it was amazing.

      This year I hope to knock out 100 books, including short things. I feel like 2009 is set up to be a time when I don’t read a lot of crap books.

      I’m avoiding any kind of list or desired number, but I’m keeping a log of what I read this year, for the first time, and am excited about that.
