I'm going to keep track of every book I read in 2011. Yes. I'm also going to keep track of how many pages in each book.... so by next December, I'll be able to look at an enormous number and think "Wow. Good for you Mallory, good for you." (This will exclude the gargantuan amount of picture books I read.)
See what I read in 2010 here.
