I broke my goal of 15 books with 23 last year and almost doubled my previous years reading numbers from 12 books to 23.
I've got some longer books I'm thinking of reading which will shorten my numbers a little so I'm thinking 20 is a fair goal.
Goal: 20 Books
1. The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard - Robert E. Howard, 506 pages, 5/5
Most of the stories in this were awesome. Even outside of Conan, Howard was a great writer and versatile with all the different types he wrote. Can't really pick a favorite story from it, too many good ones: Wolfshead, the dream snake, rattle of bones, hills of the dead, the horror from the mound, the noseless horror, Old Garfields heart, the fire of asshurbanipal. Just an awesome set of stories
2. Crashlander - Larry Niven, 281 pages, 3/5
Some pretty good stories. Some were just alright.
3. Lord of the Flies - William Golding, 189 pages, 4/5
4. Crisis of Conscience (5th edition) - Raymond Franz, 599 page, 5/5
Pretty heavy stuff about jehovahs witnesses by one of their former governing body members. Eye opening to read.
5. Double Star - Robert A. Heinlein, 147 pages, 4/5
6. Macbeth - William Shakespeare, 328 pages, 5/5
Guess I like Shakespeare now
"I am in blood
Stepped in so far that should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er'"
"And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of Darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray's
In deepest consequence."
7. The Last of the Mohicans - James Fenimore Cooper, 364 pages, 5/5
8. The First Men in the Moon - H. G. Wells, 272 pages, 2/5
That ending was sad
9. Mere Christianity - C. S. Lewis, 227 pages, 5/5
Lewis discusses the heart of Christianity, and that is receiving Christ. "But look for Christ and you will find him, and with Him everything else thrown in."
10. The Civil War: A Narrative, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville - Shelby Foote, 816 pages, 5/5
I now see why it is mentioned here and elsewhere. It is well written and reminds me of the best histories that I have read.
11. The Lost World - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 208 pages, 5/5
First time reading Doyle. Fun adventure.
12. Who? - Algis Budrys, 143 pages, 4/5
13. 1984 - George Orwell, audio book, 4/5. Sad ending but can see why it's so talked about
14. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley, 245 pages, 3/5
15. Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare, 328 pages, 5/5
16. From Russia with Love - Ian Fleming, 191 pages, 4/5

Going to try for 100 again.
two years ago I got to 80-something but this year I was at 62.
I never tracked books until these past two years and it has been very helpful in recommending books and also keeping up with new books from authors I like.

Shooting for 40 this year. Went through a lull last year after reading a lot the first six months, so looking to get back on track.
Posted on 1/2/23 at 9:50 pm to Adajax
Going for 18 books this year
We’ll see how this goes
Started me a notes app list for the books I read
Wish I would’ve done it for 2022 as I read more last year than probably ever .

I did 96 last year
What's your genre, preference, whatever you call it?

I did 92 last year and I think it was too much. According to Goodreads, I read 35,541 pages or 386 page average per book. That's like 97.4 pages per day. It gets to the point where I begin to forget some of what I've read. Gonna shoot for 50 this year...

Hit 56 in 2022 and shooting for 50 again this year.
I think I found my sweet spot with a target of 50, it allows for some more and less active months depending on travel and goings on.

Didn't know Goodreads kept stats. I read 39760 pages from 96 books: 41516 pages from 94 books in 2021

Yeah, if you do the Reading Challenge, at the end of the year you'll get a summary of all you read.

I'm going for 26. I've already declared it on Goodreads.
Posted on 1/5/23 at 1:37 pm to Adajax
I’m going for 12. I stay pretty distracted, so that would be solid for me.
