Original post: 2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

Right now, I've read 55 books. I think I can finish 60 by the end of the year. That number might change since I'll be off for two weeks in Dec and I probably won't be doing much of anything.

Update: I read 59 books in 2013 so aiming for at least 60 this year.
