I blogged about my book challenge here. Essentially, it's for me to read 1 book per week, for 52 weeks, summing up to a grand total of 52 books per year. The last time I succeeded in this challenge was way back in 2008 where I managed 55 books that year. Most of the time, it's just 30 odd books, which is about 1 book every 4 days. I also shared that the main purpose of this challenge is not to squeeze as many books as possible. It's really to ensure that I've a commitment to make to myself to read widely and never give up on books that are unappetizing for the first few chapters. There are many gems that only reveal themselves perhaps half way through the book, so by throwing away books without completing them, it seems I'm not giving them a fair shot at impressing me......
