2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This past year I set my goal way too high. This year I'm planning on having a lower goal and increasing it as time goes on.

I set my goal higher than I could do this past year too. I'm aiming a lot lower. What was your goal in 2014?

I think I tried for 365. I only read about 150

Oh wow. I wish I could read a book a day.

Good luck and happy reading.

if you use excel to manage the number of pages you'll have to read and divide it by the number of days you pretend to read (let's says 9/12 months reading everyday) it becomes much easier :D (me for example : 62 pages/day = 50 books with an average of 450 pages each)
(I'm considering to upload mine here somewhere so people will achieve their goals easily)

and btw good luck :D

365 is doable if you read 4 or 5 at a time. :)

I am going to try for 50 myself. I did 30 but I started late.

I'm terrible at remembering to update this but here's the books I've read so far

What did you think of Marriage of Opposites?

It took me a long time to get through it but in the end I actually really liked it. If you can get past the first 50 or so pages it gets better.
