My original goal for 2021 was to read 6,000 pages; a considerable reduction from my previous years with the exception of 2020. This was based on how little I got done on 2020. Surprisingly, I was able to complete 6,000 by May 8th, which was already a third more than I read from the mid-March through December last year, so I increased the goal to 12,000 pages and completed it in early December.
