The only competition is with yourself. There are so many factors affecting one's reading, including available time and preferred reading, that any comparison with another's rate of progress is absurd. Heyer is not the equivalent to Heidegger.
This thread is great. It serves as a goad, a reality check, a record. It also creates a sense of common effort; we're all in this together. But to use it as a way to feel superior or inferior to another person is a gross misuse and serves no purpose at all.
So good on both of you, proceeding apace to meet or exceed your goals. That's all that matters.
As for me, I'm ahead on my total reading, but that's less important to me than my subgoals, which are languishing a bit. The situation can be redressed, but I need to stay focused. I'm a little too prone to go for the light reading option (hence the inflated total) than the substantive one. Summer just seems to cry out for beach reads, but it's also the time of year when I have more time and energy for serious reading.
