I was optimistic, and decided to set myself some reading goals for 2011:

Ok, my attempts at the book challenges this year (12 e-books in 2011, Unfinished Books 2011) has been absymal.
I think my total reading is still consistent with the past few years. It just seems worse this year as I had set myself actual targets, a la the book challenges, and am falling far short! (1 out of 12 e-books, 2 out of 6 “unfinished” books)
I’m not going to bore you with the old excuse, “I didn’t have time to read”.
