Great job to put it there so I can keep track of it.
I have a question, when I reread a book, I can't get it to come up again for the current date and doesn't show for that years reading. Is there a way to change that?

Why do you think it doesn't matter what we read?
It matters to me what I read. I can read more and choose what I read too ... can't you?

Really is there a way to we change our goal? I was kind a thinking I'm already done with 5. How do we change the number?

Really is there..."
There a few way of doing it the easiest I think is go to your profile and scroll down until you see the 2011 reading challenge box and under it you will see update challenge and change it to how many you want.

That's what I've been worrying about. I wanted to read some nice fat books this year but that way I would hardly end up with no more than 20.
I don't know, I've had some nice fat books on my shelf for a while, and setting a high number as my bar, and having the personal goal of getting through one a week, was actually an attainable way of getting to them. When I did the math on what it meant to read one 1000 page book a week, it's still only just over 100 pages per day. To me, that's not all that much to do.
That's 2.19 books a day. :)
