I've read more than 56,000 "pages", so this is definitely the year in which I have read the most -- both books and pages.

I ended the year having read 199 books. And, if I lump the 6 small works together with their total of 200 pages, that's equivalent to one more book, so I'm going to call it a success! On my secondary challenges, I completed all of them except for the 42 Challenge. I had a goal of writing 42 reviews of SF items -- books, movies, TV episodes, podcasts, short stories, whatever. I didn't get 42 reviews produced, though I certainly experienced more than 42 during the year.
I read 57,588 pages toward my secondary goal of 50,000 pages. (I set the page goal to keep myself from getting to the total number of books by reading short books.)
