I plan to read more translated literature and also read more in the original (not only in English but Portuguese, Spanish and French).<br /><br />Another objective is to get back on the blogging wagon, hopefully to pre-baby levels (a girl can dream!)Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-2528021866192358852014-01-05T20:53:22.540-05:002014-01-05T20:53:22.540-05:00Wow - I love your goals.

My son has such a big tv that we can get almost as lost in the movie watching on that screen! I find myself getting so frustrated with documentaries these days; so many of them are so biased, "documenting" only one side of a story. Still, I suppose that would make them great for teaching!

I ...Love your goal to read the New Yorker in 2014! I often find that reading articles or short stories falls by the wayside when I have a good book, so I think this is a very admirable goal. <br /><br />I'm not setting any specific goals for 2014 right now, though I do want to check off more titles on my Classics Club list this year. So I guess that's my main goal. We'll see...<br /><br />Happy New Year! Raynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536910555459674118noreply@blogger.com
