I'm really sorry about your loss, 2011 can only get better from here on out.
Your resolution sounds really sensible! I should probably do something similar (when I was 16 I bought a lot of 'classics' thinking it was important for my ~intellectual development~ and I've never actually gotten round to reading any of them!) and I've spent a small fortune on books recently BUT I LOVE THEM, books as objects are appealing in themselves!
I need to relearn how to sit through real literature without falling asleep...Mostly I just really, really miss words and how powerful they can be. They have always been the only magic I really, truly believed in, and I want them back in my life. This is a really lovely sentiment that I can completely get behind.
