I’m going to try and read 30 books this year.  That may not sound like much, but it’d be better than the 24 I managed in 2014, and the pitiful 6 I managed in 2013.  (Finishing 30 would be the most for me since 2010, when I started 38 and finished 31; I apparently didn’t keep track of this stuff before then.)

To that end, this is my current to-read backlog.  This is all stuff I’ve bought, currently idling in my Kindle account, waiting to be started.  I’m simply listing them in the order they’re appearing on my Kindle; I don’t know that this is how I’ll take them on.

1. The Martian, Andy Weir
2. Silver Screen Fiend, Patton Oswalt
3. Your Face Tomorrow, Vol. 1: Fever and Spear
4. Your Face Tomorrow, Vol. 2: Dance and Dream
5. Your Face Tomorrow, Vol. 3: Poison, Shadow, and Farewell, Javier Marías
6. You, Austin Grossman
7. Yes Please, Amy Poehler
8. Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel
9. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, David Mitchell
10. The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick
11. Ubik
12. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
13. Valis
14. The Divine Invasion
15. The Transmigration of Timothy Archer, Philip K. Dick
16. The Malice of Fortune, Michael Ennis
17. The Egyptologist, Arthur Phillips
18. Skinner, Charlie Huston
19. The House of Rumour, Jake Arnott
20. The Disaster Artist, Greg Sestero
21. The Flame Throwers, Rachel Kushner
22. Submergence, J.M. Ledgard
23. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki, Haruki Murakami
24. The Crimson Petal and the White, Michel Faber
25. Orfeo, Richard Powers
26. Dhalgren, Samuel R. Delany
27. I Am Pilgrim, Terry Hayes

So if I can knock all those out, then I can certainly treat myself to 3 new books when I’m done, and meet my challenge.
