I’m not fond of new resolutions, so I’ll just keep going with the one I’ve had for some time now: finish what I start. 

These books were already stacked on my bookcase but I moved them closer to my bed for obvious reasons. Most of these I’ve started and have never finished. In the case of “The Beautiful Struggle,” I recently picked it up at Alley Cat Books in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood. I’d love to know what you think about any and all of these. 

Discourse and debate is another resolution I’m constantly working on.
