Good luck to everyone in your challenges! Time to finally list mine.

I'm going simpler. The main challenge is to read 60 books. My goal was 40 in 2014 and 50 in 2015, so I can't resist 60 in 2016. I completed the former goals, but the trajectory isn't promising - I read 51 books in 2014 and 50 in 2015. I'll be very interested to see where I end up at.

There will also be seasonal, i.e. quarterly, subchallenges. I really liked splitting my subchallenges into two halves the last couple of years and I think I will like quarterly ones even better, as these give the opportunity to refresh things more often. So, to begin:

January-March, Winter

The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen
The Epic of Gilgamesh
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale by Herman Melville
A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro
A Question of Upbringing by Anthony Powell
