- Anna Karenina. Started in October and it got put aside over the holidays. Loving it and will finish. 500 pages from now.
- Vimy. On loan from my sister. Have had it quite a while.
- Quiet. Um.... because I'm an introvert?
- A Scanner Darkly. I don't read much science fiction and don't know the genre very well. But I've really like what I have read (Bradbury and Gibson mainly) and think that Dick is the next logical step.
- Pippi Longstocking. Okay, fine, not exactly keeping with my resolution but we just got this in at work and I adored it as a kid. I totally wanted to live in an old house with a monkey and a horse. Got the old house...
- Wolf Hall. Recommended by Elizabeth but also referenced in a Vanity Fair article about the King James Bible. Piqued my interest.
- North and South. As a change from reading Pride and Prejudice over and over.
- Burial Rites. Just sounds interesting. I like historical fiction. With murder. Set in Iceland.
- Tombstone Blues. Totally looking forward to local author Chadwick Ginter's follow-up to Thunder Road.
- At least one of the Smiley novels. Want to read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy because it's such a classic but feel like I should start at the beginning.
I'm happy with my list. Have a couple of Canadians, nice mix of genres, something old, something new. I'm sure I'll be reading more than 10 books in 2014 so please send recommendations!
