012 Read books by 26 authors I've not read before, one for each letter of the alphabet

[stapsdoes101things]

Why do I want to do this?

I read a lot, but I do tend to stick to tried and true authors. I'm hoping that this will prompt me to be a bit more adventurous.


How will I know when it's done?

For every letter of the alphabet I will have read a book by an author with whose work I was previously unacquainted.


Progress can be tracked at stapsreads, though I'll also post links to the book reviews below.
