I’ve been impressed by the reading plans I’ve seen on other people’s blogs and thought I would do one too. Then I had second thoughts. I had had enough of plans when I worked in local government – plans for everything, with a “Golden Thread” running from a Corporate Plan through Service Plans, Departmental Plans, Group Plans, Team Plans to your very own Personal Development Plan. There were people who made plans of the plans. So I’m not going to do it for my reading.
I have lots of unread books. I see a book and think that looks good, so I’ll buy or borrow it or add it to an ever-growing list. So this year my “plan” is to choose books to read from the books I own, but as I know that if I did make a proper plan resistance would set in and I wouldn’t want to stick to it, I will be “flexible” (yes another buzz-word from work – you must be adaptable and change when necessary) and borrow or buy any other books if the fancy takes me.
