I posted this on Facebook recently - I added a few more to it, and I need one more to make it 15 on a list, and 15 to pick randomly throughout the year. Do you have suggestions for what #15 should be?
I decided that in 2011, I'm planning on reading 30 books. This is on par with what I've read this year (currently at 27, two in the works). I have a hard time sticking to a list - I've tried it before, but then other things come out and I want to read those. So, this year, I'm going to do a hybrid list. Some of them will be chosen books to read throughout the year, the rest can be chosen as I go along. See below for the "pre-determined" books so far...
1) The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett (re-read)
2) World Without End - Ken Follett
3) Full Frontal Feminism - Jessica Valenti
4) Speaking the Unspeakable - Margaret Abraham
5) The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot
6) Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie
7) What is the What - Dave Eggers
8) The Passage - Justin Cronin
9) Freedom - Jonathan Franzen
10) The Happiness Project - Gretchen Rubin
11) Big Girls Don't Cry - Rebecca Traister
12) The Year of the Flood - Margaret Atwood
13) Wolf Hall - Hilary Mantel
14) A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
15) ?

I just read Stephen King's "Rose Madder" and loved it. "The Probable Future" by Alice Hoffman was one of my fav reads this year, as was "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. I'd recommend any of those for your #15.
