I have decided to read something by 11 different authors whose works I have not read before this year.
If you are interested, please let us know here and report back to update your list every time you read the work(s) of a new author.

OK, I'll give this a go.
I've started one already and another has been purchased.

This sounds fun! I am in!
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
One a month - or thereabouts: I think I can manage that. I'm in.
What a great idea for a challenge. I'm in too. I'll be back to post my projected reading list.

Much better than my plan to read 2011 new authors, I'm in!
Good idea; I'll be in too!
"...You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe
Fantastic!
My first one will be Alice Munro, I think.

We are all born originals - why it is so many of us die copies? (Edward Young, poet)
Funny, I thought Tyler Durden started it...
