Newly Minted, Minty Fresh 2017 Resolutions

Already January 5!  Time to resolve!

The "I would like..." format for resolutions felt pretty good last year, so I'm going with that again:


I would like to read 55 books in 2017.

I would like to finish Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow in 2017. As of today, I'm 4% in.

I would like to read 3 Pulitzer Fiction novels.

I would like to continually have an audiobook on the go while I'm driving around.

(which leads to...)

I would like to listen to/read more audiobooks this year.

I would like to watch or listen to a bunch of musicals this year. Forget Top 40, forget country. Nothing satisfies like a musical.

I would like to read that new Eugene O'Neill biography.

I would like to read some Korean literature.

I would like to read The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford.

I would like to read Earth by Emile Zola.

I would like to read a Stewart O'Nan novel.

I would like the bulk of my reading to be 19th and 20th century books.

EDITED TO ADD:

Well shoot. I had a feeling I wasn't done yet. Two more book wishes floated to the top today while I was walking. I've heard things like that can happen.

I would like to read The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy. Maybe an audiobook?

I would like to get back to that Vincent van Gogh biography I left off reading while on the subway back in 2013 or 2014.
