This is going to be a very, very hard month (or few months) at work, so I am going to be a bit broader in my goals than I have been in the past, with a full expectation that I will fall short. It is, as always, all about the striving:

8 plays (52 Plays/52 Weeks project)
The Iliad (for work)
Challenges - there will be some overlap here, I hope

2 books from the NYT Notable Challenge
2 Australian books (Year of Down Under Challenge)
2 award winners (Book Awards Challenge)
2 books by unread authors (Unread Authors Challenge)

Reading Groups

The Woman Who Waited by Makine (Slaves of Golconda)
G. by Berger (Booker Prize)
We by Zamyatin (Books in Translation)
The Echo Maker by Powers (Pulitzer)

Empire Rising by Sam Barone (ARC)
4 Graphic Novels (since I have returned to my huge pile from the library)
To finish from August

Gilgamesh by Joan London
Tales from Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Anything else I manage to read this month will just be gravy. It will be a miracle if I finish a fraction of these.

There is one more resolution I would like to take up this month, inspired by Nick Hornby's Polysyllabic Spree. I am going to attempt to start keeping track of the books I bring into my home (through gifts, buying, mooching, or my reckless, unbridled library usage), as well as those I actually read.
