I decided that coming up with a reading list would be more helpful than not, so I took a stab at it.
A few years ago, I tried making up a year's reading list by picking ten books in ten different categories. I think I'm going to go with a similar approach, but I found it helpful to think about taking a course in something. When you're taking a course, you read some primary materials and some secondary studies. So, I've tried to come up with courses I want to take this year and to come up with a reading list for those courses.
I also have a reading list for the courses I'm teaching this year, as well as a Just For Fun list, because everyone needs one of those.
I don't have all of them filled in yet, but there's enough there to start with.
Let me know if you're planning to read any of these this year, too! And if you have any suggestions for me to bulk up any of these "courses," I'd love it!
