> I'm shooting for 3 books this year, and that's a 200% increase over last year! I mean... there's probably no point forcing yourself if you don't want to. People who read a lot of books, myself included, don't do it because we're diligent, we do it because we enjoy it. There's nothing special about books. You might as well say "I am going to finish 3 video games this year" or "I am going to go fishing three times this year". If the achieving of goals itself is what brings you enjoyment, then by all means, go for it. I suppose there's also a case to be made for people who tend to not take enough time off and who need to set themselves goals for leisure time for that reason. Anyways: Don't torture yourself.
