\nSo, yeah, those are only some of the books I bought but didn’t read this year. Some of which weren’t for want of trying, like Nicola Griffith’s Hild<\/cite> and Jo Walton’s My Real Children<\/cite>, both of which I bought early in the year, started several times, but never finished. Some of them, like Ken Macleod’s Descent<\/cite>, I wanted to read but never got around to. In either case, I can’t help but feel dumb for having bought the hardcover but not having read them before the paperback came out…\n<\/p>\n

\nI’m not going to do something stupid like promise to read everything I bought last year, this year, because I know how that turns out. It would make reading into a chore and I’d start resenting the books. But I do want to create some guidelines for myself, as last year I read too little non-fiction and perhaps a little bit too much science fiction and fantasy.\n<\/p>\n

\nSo what I intend to to do this year is indeed read more non-fiction, as well as more non-SFF fiction, as well as more books in general because I want to get my reading back in the three figures. That really shouldn’t be that difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
