For the past 3 years I've had 75 books as my goal. In 2010 and 2011 I hit that goal but found that I was reading shorter books in order to meet it. This year I will not make my goal since I picked books I wanted to read, not ones that would help me hit my goal. I will end up just less than 60 for the year.

For 2013 I would like to read more classics and books from the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list (but only the ones that I want to read since I'm not trying to read the entire list). I would also like to read more history books next year and will probably focus on the history of the middle ages. I might try to hit a number of pages read goal, just not sure what that goal should be yet. I'll check to see how many pages I read this year to help set that goal.

Just checked and I will end up reading almost exactly 15000 pages for 2012, so that will be my pages read goal for 2013.
