I'm in - down for 60 books this year (cutting back slightly from my usual 70), and will do the Booklord's Challenge. Today was a day off so I sat down and read Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's a collection of five short stories themed around music and musicians, and was rather pleasant to read (and one of the stories was rather funny). If you want to try a collection of short stories, it's worth a read. He's also a non-white author, but I've been reading a lot of Ishiguro recently so might try something a bit different for that goal. The next two books I have ready to read are The Shallows by Nicholas Carr, which appears to be about how the internet is rewiring people's brains, and The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, which is about astronauts!

Damo posted:Discworld You're in for a treat... I think some of my happiest hours of reading have been reading Discworld books for the first time. Regarding the indecisiveness, I found that my goodreads account has helped immensely in keeping track of books I've come across and would like to read. Seeing what other goons have reviewed is a good way of getting ideas. It also has a recommendations tool, but personally it's never had any great suggestions for me.
