I missed my 2013 goal, which was 26 books and no rereads, by quite a bit. I ended up with 17. However, I enjoyed having the some sort of target to shoot for, so I'm going for it again. A bit easier this year, I'll shoot for 24 books (2 per month, rather than one every two weeks), and rereads count, because there are quite a few things I want to revisit.

As usual, I failed my challenge ending up with 20/24. For the record, here they are: 1. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson 2. Excession by Iain M. Banks 3. Look To Windward by Iain M. Banks 4. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks 5. Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson 6. Out of Sight by Elmore Leonard 7. A Storm of Wings by M. John Harrison 8. The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? by Jared Diamond 9. Sundiver by David Brin 10. The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson 11. In Conquest Born by C.S. Friedman 12. Neuromancer by William Gibson 13. Count Zero by William Gibson 14. Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian 15. Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian 16. H.M.S. Surprise by Patrick O'Brian 17. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand 18. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury 19. The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury 20. Girl on the Net: My Not-So-Shameful Sex Secrets by Girl on the Net Lot of rereads this year; looking at that list, I think Something Wicked This Way Comes was the highlight, Neal Stephenson hasn't aged well, and I have no idea what the fuss about World War Z was.
