DanG's Reading Resolution for 2011

So we're almost one month into 2011 and I haven't really changed anything about my life, my diet, my job, my lack of exercise, etc. I've never been one for resolutions, but this year there is one thing I wanted to work on and that is the backlog of reading material that I've accumulated over the past year or two.

Individual comics are easy for me to knock out, but trade paperbacks, graphic novels, collections...those require more of my time and attention in order to fully appreciate the work. I'm sure that's why I have many books on my shelves that haven't been handled since the first day I got them.

Well that's going to change. I've compiled a list of books purchased or obtained prior to 2011 that I intend on finishing before 2012, because, let's face it, the world will end that year anyway.



So, in no particular order...

You could knock out "I Kill Giants" in about 20 minutes. It's an easy read.

I have a couple complete runs that I would like to read this year including: 100 Bullets, Sin City, Will Pfeiffer's run on Catwoman (V3 #44 - 83) and the complete run of Strangers in Paradise.
