After I became a bookcrosser I have started to count how many books I read a year. My goal is to read minimum 52. Which I have done twice. In 2006 I read 47, 2007- 58, 2008- 51, 2009- 66, 2010- 49, 2011, -36(Not a good year). Which is not so bad. I read much more books now, then what I used to do before B.C.
I also planing to read one book by all the Nobel prize winners. It will take some time before that challenge is finished. If ever.
Some time ago I bought the Norwegian edition of "1001 books to read before you die". So I have started to tick of those I have read and the counting says 67 on the 20. August -09.
