As near as I can tell, this exact question hasn't been put forth yet, so I think I'm safe to do so. My apologies in advance if I'm wrong.
I like to commemorate things/events in little ways, so for me, I've come up with a couple of things to spread out over the rest of the year. First on my list is revisiting one of my all-time favorite TOS eps, 'City on the Edge of Forever', in the form of the graphic novel that adapted Harlan's original screenplay. Read it (the graphic novel) once, years ago and remember being impressed with it. This seems as good a time as any to read it again.
My next Trek read, closer to the beginning of September, is Inspired Enterprise by Glen E. Swanson, which my wife got me for Christmas and I quickly decided to wait until the week of the 60th rolled around to read it. If anyone out there has already read this, I'd love to know what you think.
In December I plan to re-watch for the umpteenth time my favorite Trek movie, TMP; not sure which way I'll go this time, the 4k Director's Edition, or my blu-ray copy of the theatrical. For all it's flaws, I'm still rather fond of that version, simply because that's the movie I saw on December 23, 1979. Big time nostalgia.
And finally, looking forward to David Mack's new TOS novel Echoes in Eternity, due in October (I have already broadly hinted to the Missus that this would make a wonderful Christmas present this year).
OK, it's time for everyone else to share their plans for Trek's 60th. I'm sure there will a quite a few that are more elaborate than my own.
