Alteration of Reading Goals
If anything, I'm a realistic person. I don't think I'll be able to read 25 classics in 2012 - at least not if I plan to actually consume them properly. I'm altering my classics goal to 12 - one per month seems more realistic. It took me almost a month to finish Catcher in the Rye - and that book was just over 200 pages!
I still plan to read at least 100 total books this year, though I have already broken my rule about reading books that I don't already own. Blame that on the Virgin River series by Robyn Carr.

Reading Goals for 2012
2011 isn't over yet, but I'm already contemplating my reading goals for 2012. I should easily hit my 2011 reading goal of 110 books, but I want to do something a little different for next year. This past weekend I finally made some serious progress in cataloging my book collection and I'm amazed at how many books that I own but have not had the opportunity to read yet. Included in that unread group are quite a few classics that I should have read a long time ago.
So my reading goals for 2012 will be smaller than this year: 100 books. BUT - my goal is for all 100 books to be from my existing collection, and at least 25 of them to be classics. Any books that I read that I purchase during the next year won't be included towards that 100, which means the end of year total will hopefully exceed 100, but we'll see.
