The one thing I've learned from this year's reading challenge is that I will never again state subchallenges such as "read X books in genre Y" or "read X classics of Y different authors." I hate it.
I still have six classics, Musashi and Tai-Pan to read, but I feel like reading other books first. I can't do that, because they're not in the subchallenge, and I don't want to cheat by just scrapping them.
Next year, which will be in a bit more than four months, I'll just state a number of pages, and read whatever the heck I feel like at the spur of the moment, even if it is my 17th (or so) re-read of the Lord of the Rings.
(Actually, it's even not sure if I'll make the actual main challenge...)
