10,000 pages and counting

This may or may not come as a newsflash to all of you but I'm a pretty big book nerd. I just really like reading. I know... I know...

That said, one of my 2008 goals was to read 10,000 pages over the course of the year. Sadly, I fell short by 12 pages. 12 pages!! It was horrendous. Granted, for the pages to count I had to have finished the book so... I probably did hit the 10,000 pages but, this is a rules game my friends.

Good news? This morning I pushed my 2009 tally over 10,000 pages (to 10,037 to be exact)! I know I haven't officially announced this goal to the blogosphere but I feel the nerdy victory needs to be celebrated nonetheless. I'm pretty jazzed about the whole thing - especially because I've accomplished a yearly goal an entire quarter early!

Alright, enough of my self important smugness, on to the list!
