It's that time again, /lit/. Set your reading goal either by rolling it or using your previous year as a base. Discuss the books that you wish to read and what you expect from them.

I am interested in delving more into Rick Bass this new year. I've read Winter and now I'm moving onto the Deer Pasture. I like his style although I'm not sure how I will feel about his short stories. Short stories tend to not be something that I am often reading.

I'll roll but if it's an absurd number I'll just use the last digit. I did 18 last year. Yes, I count audio books to pad my numbers and consume things I otherwise probably would have been able to get to.

I'm currently half way through a book that I started reading last year, when I finish it this year do I add it to my list of books that I read this year or is it in a null and void area that doesn't count for this year or last year?

Anyone else having issues with updating their current reads? Think I'll make my first read of the year Hunger by Hamsun haven't read anything by him since Mysteries but I liked the atmosphere quite a lot.

Gonna set it to 20 this year like every other year. I'll attempt to go further in Proust and perhaps read Madame Bovary too. I really liked Storm of Steel and One Soldier's War in Chechnya this year so I'll probably try to find something like that. I also have some memoires I wanna read. Gonna finally finish some non-fiction books too so I can keep talking like an expert about things I have a very baseline knowledge of.

I read about 5 books last year although a couple were lengthy. I'm planning to read 25 this year. Can I do it?

How short a work is it acceptable to log? I want to go through Yeats' poetry and I usually consider a book of poems that were released in book form, even if it's not long, as one book, but while I'm fine with logging The Tower as one book at forty pages, The Green Helmet and Other Poems is only ten pages total. I guess any long 800+ page books are still only going to count for 1 book, so it kind of balances out, but a part of me will still feel a bit cheap counting a ten page book towards my total.

DOABLE I have been reading LIBRARY OF AMERICA collections for SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS and it's usually like 2-3 tomes with 3-4 books each, I did Vonnegut and Dick since summer as well as robots & foundation by Asimov.
Where should I go next? I like Asimov better than Dick sometimes, but all Asimov's stories are the same. I like Vonnegut a lot in small doses
