I've never actually made a reading goal before, but thanks to GoodReads I know that I read eighteen to twenty-two books on average each year, alongside a random selection of comic books and manga. It seems like excellent fun to jump on this bandwagon, though, so my (various short) goals for 2013 are:
001. Read the W.I.T.C.H. comic book / graphic novel series.
002. Read five works from the public domain.
Note: "Public Domain" is used loosely, as my country of residence has a life + 70 copyright law and so I may purchase books which are in the public domain in life + 50 countries and count these as part of this goal. Perhaps. 003. (Re-)Read The Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody.
004. Read Viking by Tim Severin.
005. (Re-)Read A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R.R. Martin.

2012, I set a goal of 75 books which I did meet. This year, I'm going to be reading a lot more larger books and I doubt I'll get to 75 books. But, I like knowing how many I've read, So as Yoda would say, track I shall.
My Books for 2013 Blue = To be read Red = Currently reading Black = read Bold = Series name Click the covers for more information on each book. 001. In Death 19 - Visions in Death by J.D. Robb 002. Word & Void 01 - Running with the Demons by Terry Brooks 003. Among Others by Jo Walton 004. Word & Void 02 - A Knight of the Word by Terry Brooks 005.

State of Wonder by Ann Patchett, 358p 017.

Goal: 50,000 pages read.
I've never really given myself a reading challenge before, but I suspect that it's an excellent way to integrate myself with a new forum over the course of the year and to help me decide upon the perfect e-book reader for me through deliberately frequent usage. As such, my primary goal is to read 50,000 pages for the year (based on the page count displayed within books in my PRS-T2 Reader).
Books Read: 001. Jack Of Diamonds by Bryce Courtenay; 646 002. Storm Front by Jim Butcher; 233 003. Fool Moon by Jim Butcher; 273 (currently reading) Progress: 879/50,000
