I would suggest editing them, and re-posting them more often than once a year; maybe quarterly or even monthly; or weekly for very fast readers. In a word, whenever you feel that you can re-post it without appearing a postwhore.

I haven't really thought about this year yet. I like to take life as it comes, and not plan too much.

have you already read anything this year? Put it on your list, post it, and edit whenever you have anything to add

Books I'm thinking about reading in 2008:
IT by Stephen King - I hear it's good.
Some of those Harry Potter books everyone's always yammering on about.
More Neil Gaiman. Ihim.
A few more of those books that we all hear are classics but that I haven't actually read.
Koontz's next Odd Thomas book which is supposed to come out in May.
Other Stephen King stuff that I haven't gotten to yet, like INSOMNIA.
Whatever else strikes my fancy at the time.
