Of course there is a lot of convenient overlap with those goals. (I'm reading Downbelow Station by C.J. Cherryh now ;)<br /><br />I'm also going to force myself to read off my existing pile for every other book (a concession for the Mrs.) and update my blog 2 times a week.Davehttp://www.WorldsWithoutEnd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-66379738378729335392011-01-04T15:03:10.061+00:002011-01-04T15:03:10.061+00:00I have resolved to start reading (and perhaps even...I have resolved to start reading (and perhaps even reviewing - as you do, Graeme) comic books again, after kicking the habit to the curb years ago for purely financial reasons.<br /><br />The Walking Dead compendium, collecting the first 50-odd singles issues of the series, seems like a swell place to start.

I decided long ago not to accept books for review from any individuals because I wouldn't get around to reading them. I do accept books from a couple larger companies but only ones I request myself, so that I know I have more of an intention to get to them and get to them soon.<br /><br />I posted my resolutions the other day, which involved reading more of what I already own and making sure to read a greater percentage of what I may buy during the year rather than having it merely add to the pile.<br /><br />I wish you all the best on these, especially the 'having fun' resolution. That's what it is all about after all.Carl V.

I do want to read more than last year and I got over 70 books then. I'd too like to get to the bottom of my ever expanding TBR pile, but realistically I just don't think it will happen. I would like to make some real inroads into the list of 100 Must-Read Fantasy novels that I started in March of last year. I got through 23 of them, at this rate I won't finish the list until sometime in 2013 and I'd much prefer to be well over it by that time. I have made a resolution I can stick to though and that's to update my blog at least once a week.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.com
