Gosh darnit, you and Kristin just whiz by me. :) I think that 52 books is more realistic for me. Maybe I'll hit like 70 if I crank it up. :)

Ha, do not be deceived! 5 books a month average does not 100 books per year make.

I think you have to finish a book every 3.65 days right? to hit 100? Which ... is daunting, esp. at this point.

We need to read COMIC BOOKS, is what. ;-)
