Well in 2011 I set out to read 100 books. As can be seen below I only reached 60. A few things are responsible for missing the 100; work being very busy over the summer, reading too many magazines, spending more time writing, etc.
I will be starting a number of reading challenges in 2012. Hopefully I'll have better results.
