I, on the other hand, much prefer counting by books. This isn't a contest of volume. It honestly doesn't matter what your final number is, or what your original goal is, but about what you get out of the process. For me, it's really not about a total number. I'll read what I read, and my time is limited at various points during the year. The reason for joining the challenge is to build a list and get an idea of WHAT I'm reading, and use the list to help manage the quality.
If things go as they have, I'll have NO difficulty reading 100 books this year, but that wasn't ever my goal. What I'd hoped to do was reduce my TBR a bit, and improve the overall quality. I'm making progress towards that, but it's not as far along as I'd like. But I never expected it to solve itself overnight -- it's a process, and there's a dialectic going on that I think will improve my reading over time. The list is part of that dialectic, and why I joined the challenge.
