• I want to tackle Shakespeare's play (which I have't read since high school), though I'm waffling about reading them all. I'm going to give myself a margin of 25 - if I complete that many from the list of 38 plays, I'll be happy to substitute other titles...
• Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot series - David Suchet's portrayal is a classic in our household, but I've only read a couple of the books...
• Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series - though I love Benedict, Jeremy Brett's Sherlock is also a much loved staple in our house. But unlike Poirot, I have read all the Sherlock stories, so these will be rereads...
• A miscellaneous collection of other classic works that I've always meant to read, but have never gotten around to doing so...
