55% ish of one
10% of another
25% of another
30% of one I started in 2018
I'm just gonna finish the 55er and start reading one at a time. Also I started taking them out of public libraries instead of buying them so I have a time constraint that forces me to read on a schedule.

It's more of an absolute minimum than a goal, but it's still nice to be on target

If you're going that high, read comic books.
Alternatively, read plays and novellas.

maybe i should?
i tried using this reading challenge but it was suggesting me overly retarded books all the time, not convenient.

If a book has books are those books books or is it just a book?

The latter, usually, unless there are individual records for each volume, but as far as I am aware no single volume takes more than one record.

I'll catch up by reading shorter books. I read The Man Without Qualities, it was amazing but it sucked my time for everything else.

On book 12
Goal is 26
Currently reading Doctor Zhivago
The Leopard (or The Serval if we’re translating literally) is next on the list
I’m a little ahead of schedule but The Man Without Qualities is on my to read list and that might take me a long time
