Well, if you want yearly goals... Larry Send a noteboard - 09/01/2010 03:47:38 AM
So, what books are you reading this month? Also, what are your reading goals for 2010? 50? 100? More?



400 books read, plus 100 magazines and lit journals to be read, most for anthology purposes.

Currently?

About to finish book #10 and magazine/journal #3. On pace, and that pace for the magazines will pick up in the next week or two, as I expect a few boxes' worth of magazines/lit journals. I have a feeling I'll be much more informed about the quality of spec fic short fiction by year's end :P

Oh, and one more personal goal: To read at least 100 stories/books by women. Have read 6 books, one of which was a short story collection, so far.
