Now that it's 2005 it's time to concede defeat on my 100 book challenge for 2004 even though I didn't start until the end of January. It got stressful eventually instead of staying a fun challenge for myself. I made it through 75 of the 100 (and did read over 100 books overall for the year). I won't be doing a similar thing for 2005, but will probably try to polish off the rest of the 2004 books gradually throughout the year. (Except perhaps Iain Sinclair's Lights out for the Territory which I still haven't been able to get into after 3 tries).

I look forward to the freedom to read whatever catches my eye instead of feeling like I need to wait until January (now!).
