I can't decide whether to be pleased or upset that I don't really have to rewrite the 52 lists too much. This was not a great year for me, culturally-speaking, I guess.
In poetry, I have already explored and written about Emily Dickinson, John Keats and W.H. Auden. They will be replaced by Alexander Pope, Andrew Marvell and Anne Sexton.
In books, I have already analyzed Great Expectations and Pride and Prejudice. They will be replaced by David Copperfield and Moby Dick.
For composers, I have already experienced Bach, Schumann and Copland. They will be replaced by Brahms, Dvorak and Shostakovich.
In movies, I counted the Star Trek V and Star Trek VI as separate entitites, but they are on the list as 1 line item. That's a lot of movies lumped together, but I will cope with that just fine. I am also combining Toy Story 1,2 and 3, which were separate. The Star Wars movies are already lumped together in one group. Using normal math, that leaves me with 3 movies to add. I am going to indulge myself a little and add in Casablanca, Shakespeare in Love, and 10 Things I Hate About You, old favorites I have not seen in too long. They will be my reward for slogging through some of the clusters.
I will update the lists linked on the side soon. Once again, they are not in order of reading, listening and/or watching. There has to be some choice involved, after all, or the whole thing stops being fun.
