My goal for this year is to read the (7) Harry Potter books in German. I'm about 3/4s of the way through the first book right now. I'm in school full time (German and philosophy major) and work full time, so it'll be pretty tough to do, but I think I can make some good steady progress daily.

My goal was to read all 7 Harry Potter books in German. I only completed the first two and I'm about a quarter of the way through the third book. I read a total of 7 books this year.

1. Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen (book 1) (in german)
2. Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens (book 2) (in german)
3. Unterm Rad, by Hermann Hesse (in german)
4. Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse (in german)
5. A Dance with Dragons, George R.R. Martin (re-read)
6. The Martin, by Andy Weir
7. A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vernor Vinge (re-read)

I wanted to read German books outside of my German studies, and that's what the Harry Potter were for, but I'm counting the Hermann Hesse stuff because it makes me feel accomplished. heh. I like Unterm Rad more than Siddhartha. The Martin was a solid, quick fun read and A Fire Upon the Deep is one of my favorite Sci-fi novels ever, and it held up strong on the re-read too.
