Commander Riker, or Jesus? ... Semantics.
My goal is only 50 this year. I tracked my reading for the first time last year and set the apparently impossible goal of 65 books. I will also attempt to take on the OP's 22 book challenge. For the record, I count comics and graphics novels toward my goal. If I didn't, my goal number would be much lower.

Add me on Goodreads here.

And... go!

My January update:

1. The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense by Robert Kirkman - I found this installment of TWD to be incredibly brutal, depicted as retaliation against severe levels of torture. It's nice to see that the series is delving deeper into the what monsters humans can become given the extreme circumstances.
2. The Walking Dead, Vol. 6: This Sorrowful Life by Robert Kirkman - This wraps up the segment on the series taking a turn for the brutal, ending in a crescendo of blood and gore that the show does not do justice.
    13. Something dealing with the unreal
3. Egghead by Bo Burnham - Clever, hilarious, inappropriate, and heartfelt; Bo Burnham is a remarkable comedian and poet. Only one of these things surprised me when reading Egghead (and I'm fairly sure I already knew he was funny).
    7. A collection of poetry

My February update:

I have read nothing this month and I feel great!

Seriously, I spent much of my free time writing instead. I have started a few books that I hope to finish in March.
