I still want to read all the books I failed to read last year. So I’ve pared down the list to a more reasonable 25. That’s still…ambitious. Especially considering that I only managed 7 last year. But maybe the shorter list will feel friendlier and more approachable? Maybe? Here is my list.

Jane Eyre
David Copperfield
Moby-Dick
Bleak House
Great Expectations
Anna Karenina
The House of Mirth
The Jungle
A Room with a View
Howards End
The Age of Innocence
Mrs. Dalloway
The Maltese Falcon
To the North
The Grapes of Wrath
For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Collected Stories of Ernest Hemingway
The Pursuit of Love
Animal Farm
Brideshead Revisited
Love in a Cold Climate
1984
East of Eden
A Good Man Is Hard to Find
Midnight’s Children

Anyone else making any highly ambitious goals for the new year?
