What's Your Game Plan??

Happy New Year to all...

I had a good reading year this past year, but now a new year reading is upon us -rife with potential.

Have you decided on a game plan for your reading in the coming year? I do this every year although I haven't told people about it in the past because I'm afraid that I wont read any of these books. I've decided that it doesn't matter. It's a given that my reading is subject to sudden swings and obsessions that knock things to the side, but it doesn't matter anyway because the important things on the list do seem to get read within the space of two or three years regardless. So I'll start the ball rolling and if you'd like tell us as well:
What is your Game Plan? ;)

Lit
The Recognitions-William Gaddis
This is one of my big reading projects-an epic novel about art forgery in Manhattan in the 50s sounds like my kind of book.
Don Quixote
I confess -I've never read it. Hope to read it this year.
Finish all my Robbe-Grillet novels
Read more Kerouac
After reading Big Sur, I've found myself more interested in the development or decay of Kerouac's romantic spiritual quest. I have his two very last novels that I want to read now.
Fathers and Sons
I always liked Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, so I finally would like to get down to taking a look at The Nostromo.
Read Ballard's contained community/murder mystery books -
Super-Cannes, Cocaine Nights,
maybe even go on from there...
I don't know if I'll read everything else I have by him, but I'll at least complete Huysman's shorter works Marthe-Huysmans and Parisian Sketches. If I get fired up I'll roll into The Oblate of St Benedict.
I'm currently in the middle of this Huxley thing- I finished his Collected Short Stories and was very impressed. Eyeless in Gaza might be my first lit read of the year.
I may go for a Phillip Roth run I have a ton of his stuff on my TBR pile. I'll probably start with Sabbath's Theater
I may take a look at The Corrections
I'd like to take a look at some more Zadie Smith - I liked White Teeth very much. I think I have The Autograph Man buried somewhere...
There's a bunch of books that I picked up and look promising as a result of lurking in LT's Chapel of the Abyss group (and it's participents' respective libraries) -Chateau d'Argol,The Angel of the West Window, The Obscene Bird of Night...

Bios:
I have a few bios that I put down years ago and never completed on Terry Southern, Nathanial West, and Micheal O Donahue.
I might read the bio I have on Jean Shepard.
Lincoln -David Herbert Donald
I picked this up before all the Obama/Lincoln comparissons started. I think after having a Chief Executive that is slated to rival Harding or Buchanan as the most unsuccessful president the U.S. has ever had, one yearns in one's mind for the opposite, and in our collective imagination the top of the list usually starts with Lincoln. I've read about Lincoln before, but I felt it was time to read about him again as an adult.

Genre:
I don't read a lot of fantasy , but I'd like to take a look at The Riddle Master books this year. Severn and a few others at the SFF site always had great things to say about McKillip. I'd also like to take a look at the first novel of the Chronicles of Prydain -The Book of Three. I read his children's lit novel Time Cat in the past few years and liked that a great deal.If I get a buzz off of Book of Three, I might finish them. I might also reread the Narnia books this year.
I'd like to take on all my Stross novels that I have lying around-Atrocity Archives, Iron Sunrise, Singularity Sky etc, I really enjoyed Accelerando last year and just haven't had the time to read these things.
Pattern Recognition -Long overdue to read this.
I'd like to finish my Sturgeon novels -Godbody and Some of Your Blood.
Like to finally get around to The House of Leaves
I'd like to read my Kuttner/Moore short story anthology.
And I'll probably fill in the gaps with some Dickson, Laumer and Vance and whatever I pick up on pure whim.

Anyway, that's more than a full plate- to quote Intensityxxx (I think) my eyes are bigger than my eyes. ;)
But I'm think I'm pumped now - could be a good reading year!!

I don't really ever have a plan. I know there are a few books I am waiting for and when they come out in paper, I buy them and read them right away. The rest I just pick and choose as the mood takes me. Sometimes they are new purchases, sometimes books that have been in my library for a while.

I do try to vary the type of books I read so that I don't get in a rut. I do read more fiction and than non-fiction. Sometimes if I start a series and I like it, I keep reading them all one after another, other times I don't.

I belong to 4 RL book groups, so my reading for the month has to take those books in. Sometimes we are reading a book I have already read, so I have more time to read books for me. Other times it is only the book group books I can read.

I'm not very good at sticking with a game plan. I usually read according to mood, and real life always has a way of interfering with my goals almost as soon as I make them. But... every year I do tell myself that I'm going to buy less and read more of the TBR. Currently being miserable and fed up at my job with no prospects of going anywhere else, I might soon find myself in a predicament where I'm jobless and forced to choose from those TBR books (good thing I've got a stockpile!). My daughters' school activities are going to start cutting into reading time this year, though. Some other goals I've been thinking about:

Read more Newbery Honor/Medal books
Read more Presidential biographies (I'm compiling a list, which will be a slow painstaking process)
I also have a huge stack of mythology books I want to reacquaint myself with before reading some fantasy inspired stories related to specific myths.

It's pretty funny, I have to admit -I read one book on this list Singularity Sky.

No game plan lists ever again, so help me.
