Well, that may be distorting things a tiny bit. I'm not much on resolutions, in all honesty. Sometimes I aspire to have resolutions (maybe my resolution should be to come up with some resolutions for next year). But! I did decide to fill out the books that I am missing from Modern Library's top 100 books this year.
I should clarify that these two lists are not at all connected; there are plenty on the ML's top 100 that aren't in the 1001 (so we'll just not be reading those; yay!).
Here's what is on tap for the next little bit, after I finish this Henry Miller one (blurg).
