1000 Books By New Year's Day 2013

The immodest goal of this blog is to record the reading I'm doing in an effort to read through all the unread books I own.

I started on January 1.  As of today, February 24, I have 115 books read, which means I have catching up to do.

I'm not worried.  If I miss the mark, at least I'll have pushed myself to read hundreds of books.

Why am I doing this?  I like to make reading challenges for myself, and this is an ambitious one. 

Many of the books I'll read will be bad books, books I bought because I was in a mood, because they were there, because I liked the cover.  You can judge me, I don't mind.  Maybe I am trying to clear all this junk out of my unread archives because I don't want it messing with the good books I've read and carried with me over the decades.

It's just going to be me reading and noting the completion of a book.  I may just list things, but I might be compelled to comment.

At some point I will list the books I've read up until now.  Or not.

Here we go.
