I've been contemplating whether it's OK to read ahead a bit in 2011. After all, one goal of this project is just to read more books. Who really cares when exactly I read them? I propose that once I've finished my reading goal for 2011 (48 books), the remaining books I read this year can be placed in a reserve. That way, if I fall terribly behind or decide to read some VERY LONG BOOKS in 2012, I can still continue the project. War and Peace is on my to-read list, after all. I don't want to forego reading the classics just to reach a numeric goal. Quality counts, too!

The books I hope to read for the remainder of 2011 are:

- Too Much Happiness, Alice Munro

- Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Gregory Maguire

- Paris Was Ours

- The Story of Beautiful Girl

- Freakonomics

- You Can't Go Home Again
