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.

I definitely agree with issybird here. 200 books is quite a stretch for me, but I wanted to pick a goal which would challenge me. Since I started keeping records in 2005, the most books I've read in a year is 160. Last year I read 154 books.
Next year I'm going to set a very modest goal for total number of books read, but will have several subgoals like the "Eclectic Reader" challenge that I'm participating in this year. The subgoals click in when it's time to pick the next book to read.
