I've never done a reading challenge before, and I definitely read too little. I only finished about 10 books in 2011. I get less and less patient when it comes to reading. There are a lot of books that I started but have never finished. Maybe it's high time for me to wander less online and invest more time to books.
I set my goal for 2012 at 30 books (10,000 pages). 25 fiction and 5 non-fiction, exclusive of books required by my major, and all of them in English. Hopefully I can do better next year than this year. I've started to read A Clash of Kings yesterday. It is likely this is the first book I finish in 2012. __________________

I don't really have a goal.. I just try to catch up with the books from my bookshelf and then read the upcoming 2012 books I am waiting for.
But.. I'll make a list of the books I need to read that I own. I'll post it in a few days |

I just want to clarify in the OP, when I say no changes I mean please try not to remove goals. But feel free to make new ones!
I'm adding 5 non-fiction books to my list, which will probably be environmental. __________________

I usually will do an unlimited amount of books to read, and then by the end of the year I see how well I have done.

The Book Challenge is for the amount of books, this thread is meant for the what is being read. Every year there are certain books or series that I want to get into, and some genres I don't read much, so this was a good reminder for me.

In that case.. I usually don't have a set books I plan to read.. I usually just go with what's on my bookshelf that I need to catch up on, and then upcoming books.

I'd consider it myth or historic/classic, but whatever works for the reader
