Read 100 books in 2011.(Unfortunately, I think I've bitten off more than I could chew. Last year I bypassed my goal of 60 by reading 74, but I think jumping to 100 is way too extreme. I don't want to take away my enjoyment by putting so much pressure on myself.)Therefore, I'm changing my goal to 80.
