At the end of every year I create a post from the year's readings. I like wrapping it up this way, with a few thoughts packaging up a specific section of time, and yes, a specific goal. Every year I pledge to read 52 books, and once again I fell short in 2016 (17). As usual, I have a number of things I could blame, but my key take-away this year is that I didn't make a plan to succeed.
I love to run, not as much because of the running, but because of the success I feel for having planned, trained, and completed a goal. Well, this year I aim to approach my reading more like a marathon. I am going to make a plan, and follow it as best I can, and lets see if I don't get closer in 2017!
