This year I may not make 50, as I'm going to start the year reading my "thicker" volumes that I haven't tackled before (mainly classics). If I'm brave enough, I might even try Joyce's Ulysses! I'll intersperse them with lighter (meaning, "quicker") reading. Wish me luck!

CHANGE OF PLAN: I've laid aside the 2 volumes noted above for later. Seems I've joined a pair of new, themed reading groups my wife recommended. The January theme for one (monthly by the book's title) is the word "dream"; for the other (an around-the-world-themed book list) is "the Arctic/Antarctic." So I'm hitting two birds w/ one stone by reading Barry Lopez's 1985 book "Arctic Dreams."
