Reading Challenge 2012: Just Read Things

Unlike the past few years where I’ve set down for myself a list of books that I wanted to have read by the end of the year, this year I’ve decided that I’m just going to set a number and try to get through that many books. I also that I’d be a better member of the website GoodReads (which is like facebook for readers) and make a concerted effort to actually track my progress through things. I figure that this year’s challenge can be a moving goal post. Right now I have it set at 25 books for the year, but I can always change that. Additionally, I plan I counting the academic things I read as well as the non-academic things. I think that will keep me (more) honest about how much time I’m spending on frivolous pursuits. If you’re on goodreads and we’re not friends yet send me a line. Also, if you’re not on goodreads and you decide to sign up, send me a line. We can be reading challenge buddies and encourage each other.
