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. __________________

Read 75 books I haven't read since I tend to re read a lot of books. __________________

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'm adding some authors to my list. Not going to restrict the books in this case, I just want to get started __________________

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