Week:
Several years ago I decided that I would do my utmost to read a book a week, because I felt like I was getting out of the habit of reading new things and I thought that having a goal to aim for would help. The effort paid off, and it's something I've kept up (off and on) ever since -- it encourages me to read more widely, and it helps me to justify to myself the vast quantities of books that I buy.
Made my total last year by slightly more than the previous year. Struggling to find anything new to say about anything here to be honest (and nobody reads it anyway). This year I'm really going to read or get rid of everything on my physical to-read pile, and read and/or return everything I've borrowed. Honest.
