I loved it and really agree with you! Having moved back to the states last year, I discovered that my time was a lot more valuable because I had less of it too myself. More of my time is spent job hunting, sitting in traffic and driving further to get where you need to go and of course my television channels expanded 300 fold from American Forces Network television in Okinawa. They only had seven channels! So, I have taken all requests for reviews from authors/publishers off of my blog and will only read those titles I REALLY WANT TO READ. I did start a book club with some girlfriends, but their taste in books seems to be agreeing with mine and I think that I will be able to easily "read deliberately" in 2010 too. Good luck in your personal challenge for yourself this year. I plan on reading some John Irving and Margaret Atwood too! Trish, this is such a wonderful and well done post!!

I've had Oates and Kingsolver books on my shelf for two years now and I want to get to them this year. Great post, happy reading in 2010. “Reading more of what I already own, and less of what I can acquire immediately” is exactly the way I want to go too.

I have listed all the books I plan to read this year for the challenges I've signed up for, and I've got them mapped out so i know exactly when I need to have each book read by in order to be on track to finish everything for the year. Whatever book I'm on, I always know exactly what book should be coming next. I read almost nothing that is not deliberate. I’m kind of a freak and my reading habits are so rigid!

I, too, made the same goal this year (stole it from Literate Housewife) and am excited to see how the year turns out. I'm looking forward to reading your reviews this year (I'm a big Barbara Kingsolver fan, so I'm particularly interested in hearing what you think of her work). I just started reading your blog (even though I've been meaning to since Literate Housewife first recommended it to me last September) and I'm loving it :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

And while I won't be joining you in reading more Oates (she doesn't ring my bell), I have other authors I love who I need to catch up with: Anne Tyler, Frank Delaney, Leif Enger, Stephanie Kallos. And so many wonderful authors I have yet to pick up - like Sarah Waters and A.S. Byatt. I am looking forward to this year!

Joyce Carol Oates is an author I have yet to read but have been wanting to read for years. Soon, I shall. Happy reading! I love that so many of us are reading deliberately this year!
