Near the end of each year, I like to think of what books that have been on my shelves for a while I’ll get around to reading in the next 12 months. Below are five that I hope to get through. If you have any reading projects for the new year, please feel free to share.

Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess
The Bell by Iris Murdoch
The James Family by F. O. Matthiessen
A Hazard of New Fortunes by William Dean Howells
The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
