Reading Challenge Revised?

I've stated before on this blog that I've challenged myself to read at least twelve books in one year.  As a part of my challenge I do not include cookbooks, how to garden books, or other instructional books.  In some years I've met or gone beyond my challenge, and in other years I haven't.  Imagine my surprise, and amazement, that some people actually challenge themselves to read 100, 113 or even 150 books in one year.  I'm astounded (in a very good way) that they can make time to read so many books.  It's also very inspirational that so many words, thoughts, ideas, etc., can be devoured in such a limited amount of time (or what I think is a limited amount of time).  Now I'm thinking to myself, maybe I should increase the number of books I ought to read in a year.

How about you?  Do you like to read for pleasure?  Do you have a reading goal to meet in a certain time period?
