New year resolutions.

As usual at this time of year we think about the ways we can act better in the coming twelve months - be fitter, or nicer, or cleverer, or whatever. My normal resolutions are the same as Dogberts:

1) To show no tolerance to those less fortunate them myself.
2) To redefine morality to suit my own short-term objectives.
3) To conquer the earth and make humanity my slaves.

However, thinking about it none of those actually involve me changing the way I act in any way whatsoever and I think I need to do something different for 2010.
Anyway, at the start of this year as an intellectual exercise I decided to keep a note of all the books I read. In the event I probably missed a few, but the list I've got looks like this (in no particular order):

( 2009 Reading )

Now the thing which strikes me most about that list is just how darned short it is. Yes, some of the books are long, but even so it's only about one book a week. The last time I did an exercise like this (back in 2001) I'd cranked my way through nearly a hundred in that year, and back in Ye Goode Olde Dayes (i.e. before I got a computer and devoted my life to the wholesale slaughter of pixellated ne'er-do-wells) I used to get through a couple of hundred books a year. Clearly then, there's room for improvement here.

So that's my new year resolution for 2010: Read more. At least 2 books a week on average for the year.

What's your new year resolution? And, while you're about it, you might recommend me a book or two?
