I’m not much one for making new year’s resolutions, but one thing I do want to do in 2012 is read a lot more. I’m really mercurial about reading – sometimes I’ll chomp through three books in a week, other times I’ll be lucky to read that many in three months. I thought I’d keep a record of everything I do read so that I can feel well proud of myself at the end of the year when I’ve ploughed through, like, 30 books. My awareness of what’s coming out in the book world is limited to the obvious – the Franzens of this world, etc – so any recommendations on tomes I might like based on what I’ve read will always be most welcome. I’m definitely no literary critic, and will largely be writing these posts quickly and without the careful consideration I’d give to an album, so hold back on any desire to get your inner F R Leavis on and call me out for being rubbish at reviewing books. Thanks!
