I've done many different strategies over the years. I had a list one year where all the books were 700+ pages, and I failed miserably.
From this experience, learned that if I pick too many long books, I end up not wanting to read the ones I picked, and it's hard to catch up once I get behind. This is a much more practical list, and there's enough variety to keep it interesting. Also, I own most of them, so at least I know I'll be able to find them.

I'm Anne. I'm originally from Wisconsin, but I moved to the Twin Cities after I finished my master's degree in structural engineering. I live just outside of Minneapolis. My job (investigating and developing repairs for building failures) is highly stressful and demanding, so I love to read to relax whenever I can find some free time. I will read basically anything except romance. My favorite genres are epic fantasy and mysteries.
