Then I'm thinking- when in the hell am I going to have time to read these plus what I have for the two book clubs I'm in, and the possibility of getting another degree?!? I've only read like 25 books this year- pathetic, so it seems like a perfect way to ensure that I am reading. Anyway, I have a ton of these books just collecting dust on my shelves.

That last one is just periphery though and more of a curiosity. Between these challenges, and my own wants, I am already planning on reading 15 books off this list next year.
