One challenge I'm taking on is called the 5/5 challenge: to read five works in each of five different genres or categories that I might not ordinarily read, or read that much of. Here are my categories:
- Classics. I only finished four classics in 2012!
- Dramas. I don't think I've read a play since English 382: Shakespeare. And that was last century.
- Religious or inspirational books. I don't read that many of these, aside from the Standard Works.
- Memoirs/Biographies/Autobiographies. I haven't read too many of these, and I really should read more.
- "Best Books" or Bestsellers, such as those from the ALA list, or the New York Times.
It makes me a bit nervous to constrain my reading this way, but hopefully it will be enriching and enjoyable.
