Do you set any kind of reading goals?

Do you try to read a certain number of books a year?

Do you want to read more of a certain genre? Or just more of a variety of genres?

I am curious to hear about any kind of reading goals you may have.

Not sure if entirely appropriate for the community (or fediverse really) but last year I came close to reading each issue of the Economist cover to cover. This year, I want to do it including all the special reports plus my couple issue backlog.

Though in these turbulent times, that may get too depressing.

That counts in my book! I hope you do reach that goal, but I also completely understand the hesitancy πŸ’š

In our bingo challenge for example, we try to make it so it fits for any recreational reading (recreation being activities you freely choose to engage in when there are no other pressures on your time).

I’d say this counts unless it’s required for work or studies.

Good to know! And yup, absolutely recreational.
