I am going to read Woman and Men soon and Zettels Traum later this year, but I have many shorter books lined up, too, like novellas by Stefan Zweig and many <200 pages books by Arno Schmidt before I read Zettel. I think I can make it.

My goal is 60 for this year. Granted, I typically only read around ~20. I've never hit one of these goals before and I've done 5. Maybe this year I'll score.

You're welcome. You might want to create separate rating classifications for non-fiction and fiction. I'm thinking about doing it as I've been having a minor quandary at times where the information in a non-fiction book is great but it was just really dry in comparison to a decent novel. I already somewhat implement that separation mentally but I haven't created a standard criteria yet. I might just be getting a bit too autistic about it.

I'm aiming for 40 books this year. I achieved 20 last year but this year I want to go over some classics I highly anticipate while also finding some potential novels for adaptation. I'm actually very excited.
