I'm starting with something easy - and it was already in my bookshelf so I'm fairly sure I've read it before but it will be a quick read to get myself off the mark. Going to start as soon as I've finished the book I am currently reading - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - not sure which year that was published in but I suspect I will re-read it when I get to that year

Good idea 😄 I'll have a look at Fantastic fiction and see what looks good to read. Going to be starting at 1978.

I've read the first book on my list, and plan to put a short review on the Official Unofficial Book Discussion thread - I tend to gallop through and not think about what I've read (possibly why I do so much re-reading), so doing this might help me somehow.

2015 next: Night Music: Nocturnes Volume 2 by John Connolly.

This is a very good idea indeed. No idea of how to go about it but will have a think. Will not resttict myself to boring fiction as real life is more interesting.

I'm definitely avoiding boring fiction. If I start to read some, I'll choose something else! ;-)

Liking the sound of this. Will do some research and find a book from 1966.
