I've even been keeping track of the books I've read this year, specifically with this thread in mind.
My goal this year is 104. That's two books a week. More importantly, my goal is to continue to keep track of things, because last year I stopped writing things down around August, and so I don't even know if I reached my goal or not.
As of right now, I am a fair bit behind target, but I've got about six books on the go right now, so we shall see.
