I never set any book reading goals with respect to number of books to read. My goal is always to enjoy reading the books as much as possible. Number of books read is of no consequence to me.

Hopefully less than this year. I'm reading too many (100+) and that's reflecting in my reduced time on actual work (self-employed).

I'm going to finish Ulysses by James Joyce if it kills me

This is the first year where I've decided not to have any reading goals. It isn't work, it's pleasure. I don't have video game goals, or cloud watching goals, so why book goals? This year, I will read when I feel like reading!

I've fallen off with reading much of this year (life has been so hectic), so I'd like to make a manageable goal of finishing a book every other month next year. Even if it's just a novella, it would be nice to get back into it.

There are years when I have read upwards of 60 books and others when I have scarcely read 6. It depends heavily on what else is going on. I don't do numerical goals and never have.

For the last few years, however, no matter how many others I read, I have had a 'big read' of some kind spread across the year: War and Peace first - since it has 365 chapters in total, then In Search of Lost Time, and this year Finnegans Wake - which I was reading with a group which scheduled in some 'summing up time' at the end so I have finished it already. In 2024 I have decided that it will be The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: so completing that is my goal.

I hit 28 books this year and am trying for 30. All pleasure reading for what suits my fancy at the time. Been trying to read all the walter isaacson books. One serious boo and two/three fun.

I think 30-32 is my limit though else i wont get other stuff done

I'd like to read more physical books (rather than my current ebooks and audiobooks) and spend more time in libraries next year. Maybe make myself a nice comfy reading spot at home. My living situation has made it difficult - it's not convenient to go to libraries, I have no where to store books I buy and I'm so desperate for space I only really have my bed for anywhere comfortable - but I'm hoping to move soon.

Don't really care about the number of them.
