Last year I challenged myself to read ten books from the notable lists. I only read five!
There is no me without you, by Melissa Faye Greene
The View from Castle Rock, by Alice Munro
The Maytrees, by Annie Dillard
Brightsided by Barbara Ehrenreich
Circling my Mother, by Mary Gordon
I'm going to be just as conservative and set my goal to read these ten (and hope I achieve at least ten):
Too Much Happiness, by Alice Munro
Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides
His Illegal Self, by Peter Carey
Descarte's Bones, by Russell Shorto
Strength in What Remains, by Tracy Kidder
Cheever: A Life, by Blake Bailey
Freedom, by Johathan Franzen
Love Songs from a Shallow Grave, by Colin Cotterill
Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art, by Laney Salisbury and Aley Sujo
An Exact Replica of a Figment of my Imagination, by Elizabeth McCracken
As usual, I reserve the right to change my mind about which books I read.

Judith: You have some great books on your to-read list...I highly, highly recommend McCracken's book - it is so beautifully written.
I have always meant to read Freedom but have never even seen a copy of the book before. This is a great list. Hope you achieve your aim
I have Provenance on my wishlist. I hope to get to it this year.

Thanks for the comments! I mean to do better this year.
