Well, it's the middle of the year and I've counted up the books I've read so far: 17! This is a low number for me! It's the 28th week of the year and I usually average about a book a week by the end of the year, so I have a lot to make up for if I want to get the same.
How's everyone else doing?

I'm at 20. My goal is 45 (one more than last year). I'm a little behind, but I'm hoping the last half of the year is better since I won't have to study (and I am currently unemployed...).

I've read 11. Not great and I can't blame time, I had just been lazy. Luckly this is the first time that I have made list, so I can't compare. My goal was 50, but I think 30 is more realistic. I tried to read as much as possible this month. School starts in August. And then I may not find time enough.

I've read 20, but I started in March. I don't think I read any in Jan or Feb (not sure why...!). My goal is to read 52 books in 1 year, so I guess if I can read 43 by the end of 2008 I'll be happy! Well, I'll probably be happy with any number, because it'll be more than I read last year!

I've only read 12 so far. There were a few months where I finished no books, or only one or too. It's so hard keeping up with pleasure reading during semester. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much law reading heaped onto me!

So far I've only read 8, a really really pitiful number for me. It was so hard to keep up with reading while I was in school this past year, but I'm going to try to fit more personal reading into my schedule this next school year. It also didn't help that every time I would sit down to read, I fell asleep.

I've read 30 so far, but most of them were very short (such as Henrik Ibsen's plays, The Threepenny opera, Mousetrap, Silk,...). It's a good number anyway!

I've only read 14...but that is considering I got next-to-no reading done in April/May since I was so busy with school.

So far I've read 53 books, which is good, because it means I might be beating my personal record from last year (96).
