New Year resolution

I really don’t feel like writing out my resolutions. In fact, I don’t feel like doing any New Year’s Eve related things. But I know that if I don’t do it today it won’t get done. I’m one of those “clean slate” people. The ones that New Year’s resolutions are designed for. Like if I’m going on a diet I’ll wait till the next Monday for the start of the week or the first of the month. It’s just my thing, not sure why.

Read the books on my book shelf. Books are expensive. I don’t want to think about how much money I’ve spent at Borders and on Amazon.com in the past year, and all those pretty things are just sitting there on my book shelf. My goal is to at least attempt to read them all before I buy any more books.

Designed book shelf
Storyline shelf is designed by Frederik Roijé and is an excellent solution to store your books in a modern way. Sound finds a physical identity in the beautifully crafted Storyline bookshelf. By first processing a word into soundwaves, the physical shape is then mirrored in powder-coated steel, using an explicit folding technique. Appropriately enough, the word that inspired this lovely piece was “bliss”.

Books on my shelf
Books on my shelf will be the first problem I have to solve. I keep my TBR's on a shelf in my library that is placed straight across from the two chairs in that room. They are on the second to the lowest shelf so when someone sits down, they have a straight visual shot to all of them. In other words, I cannot say that I forgot about any of them, they stare at me in the face and taunt me....as the number grows.
I cannot believe some of these are still there. I should make a New Year's resolution that all must be read before I can get anything new. Yeah right.
 
Here are some challenge books I have yet to read:
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington
A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes
The Country of Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
