Reading Goals

One of the things I've been doing the last couple of years in terms of reading is setting goals for the number of books and the number of pages.

I'm finding that having such goals is getting a bit cumbersome.

I'm on my way to meeting this year's goals, but I find fewer and fewer books worth reading. The longer, richer, but often denser works that are worth reading slow me down, and I've even found myself deciding not to read a book at this time because it would make it harder to meet my goals!

Now goals about reading a particular author - even trying to finish all the books by that author - are fine. I'll keep doing those.

But total number of books and a set page count? I have to think about that.

Pax et bonum
