I always thought resolutions should be made on one’s birthday. To me, the day of birth is the truest new year an individual can have. I know I’m thankful for every new year I get. I want to make the most of them. This year, I am breaking with my own tradition of birthday resolutions and making new year resolutions. Not only because I can, but because I know they are ones I can keep. Simple as that. This year’s biggest resolution is to read more. So, having said that, here is the January 2011 list:
- Citizen Soldiers: the U.S. Army From the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of Germany, June 7, 1944 – May 7, 1945 by Stephen E. Ambrose ~ in honor of Ambrose’s birth month.
- I, Robot by Isaac Asimov ~ in honor of two things: Asimov’s birth month and January being “technology month.”
- Cruddy by Lynda Barry ~ in honor of Barry’s birth month
- King of the World by David Remnick ~ in honor of Muhammad Ali’s birth month
- Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat ~ in honor of Danticat’s birth month
I didn’t plan it that I’m celebrating birthdays for the month of January. It just worked out that way.
