The new year is fast-approaching. I don’t typically participate in the tradition of “new year’s resolutions,” however, this year, I want to focus more on my reading and personal growth and knowledge. I love reading, and learning new things from new (and old) sources.

In 2011, I have decided to make my reading list small enough to be reasonable – only 12 books, one per month. I think by making the list reasonable, I should be able to actually get through all of the books. I have an Amazon wish list that is 5 times as long as this list, and I’m sure it always will be. For 2011, though, I’ll focus on these 12 books:
