Lynn at least 100 which averages to about 2 a week..
Everything that I have downloaded recently which should take me FOREVER. I like to savour a book though and not be put under pressure to finish it. Books deserve that. ;-)
Well, currently done 8 for this month, but some where my classic favorites again, but I'm aming for about 100
Yeah and now its 9! hehe, but this will soon stop, as I will be too busy :(
Jip, and I hope to read in all my off time :)
Wow, 9 books... I'm so envious, I've only finished 1! Every now and then I want to quit my job and go back to working part time in a bookshop just so I can read more.

It's September and I'm on 47 books for the year. I'll set a modest goal for myself: 55 books in 2010.
my goal is 100 books for the year, Im about half way there already.
I think my goal is 100, and hey presto, I'm at 65 already... so I better start reading. But Exams are comming up, luckily ending in November, so I'll have time after that to relax and read
I know right! They mess up everything (cross face)
Sigh, if I was still studying English lit I could at least read novels for my exams/essays :(
Hehe, that would be fun, but the book I had to read for my subject of English was The Great Gatsby, so I'm done...
reading a text book isnt as much fun, trust me :)
I'm currently reading about victimisation which is interesting (Criminology is my favorite subject) but I've got to get started with my Sociology and I'm not a great fan of the subject

I hated sociology.I don't even have a textbook to read at the moment though, just articles.
So do I, I hate sociology, and developmental studies oh and understanding African Languages... super boring but they are the subjects that I have to take, next year will be much better
Ooh, I love reading challenges! My goal was to read 100 books and I'm on book 93 now. I also have exams through Oct-Nov, so I think I'll set a separate goal for December (last year's was 25 books and I barely made it with 23!). Now I just have to come up with a list and I'm set. =)
That's awesome, we have loads of reading challenges here! You should check them out: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...At the moment we're also voting on themed reading challenges for 2011: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4...
All the info about the challenges is on the voting page :)
It looks like we might start in November though.
I have a blog in which I set myself the goal of 100 books each year. It actually helps the process being able to write about it!

And then there are those of us who like having a look at everyone's blogs but are too lazy to make their own...
I've made it 52 books already, so I'll increase my goal to 60 books (and hopefully a few more reviews :)

well, to be honest, I've been working in one for the last 4 year while I studied and customers take up all your time... but access to books all year round is like being in heaven :)
I've just joined this group and can say I'm on book 13 for the year. Not quite as prolific as some of you here. To my redemption, however, I like my books juicy. The more pages, the better.
Mod
In my opinion longer books count more :P
Hello,id like to read two books a month .
Mod
Hi Craig
Sounds like a solid goal!
Start a new topic with your name and the amount of books you want to read.
Good luck!
