I need to do that. My friend Michelle recommended watching the BBC versions with the open book of the play on my lap so I can "read" along with the performance.

I'll be curious about the gems you find through this process, Adam! I hope you can introduce your followers to some great new books!!

I do want to read more poetry. I'd like to read through A Sacrifice of Praise this year (one chapter a month) and take note of poets who I'd like to study in depth in the future.

I'd also like to continue to chip away at Shakespeare's plays. I had a plan 2 years ago to read all of his plays that I hadn't read yet in one year. I failed spectacularly, but I really do want to read his works. I'd like to read maybe one play a month, starting with the most urgent gaps: King Lear is probably the most egregious, but there is also Macbeth that I haven't read either.

Read less but with greater attention. (I will likely fail at this like I did this year!) Be more selective about what I choose to read. And always keep a compelling fiction book going so I don't get too dogmatic. (Nonfiction tends to make me feel like the world can be fixed by better ideas alone when I know that better stories are what really move people's hearts, including mine.)
