This year was the first time I'd had an annual goal, an hat was only because someone pointed me at the fiftyfifty.me site and it seemed a good idea. I'd have estimated I read 25-30 books a year, normally, so 50 was a genuine attempt to challenge myself.
I'm not going for anything so concrete next year, but I sometimes like to follow lists to give myself some ideas where to go next. I've been reading through the Hugo winners slowly, for several years, for instance. And my memory is not what it used to be, while my book collection is bigger than ever, so it seems wise to keep track of what I read, what I want to read, and what I want to buy.
