Well, the year is almost half over (Is that optimistic or pessimistic?) and I set a goal to read 30 books a year. Of course, not all books are created equal, which means there are books of 100 pages and others of 500. So I decided this year that not only was I going to read 30 books, but that I was going set a goal of 6,000 pages (That’s 200 pages per book for those keeping score at home). So here’s where I’m at:

Fields of Gold by Andy Stanley
The 1 Thing by Thom & Joanie Shultz
The Best Question Ever by Andy Stanley
The Barbarian Way by Erwin McManus
Creating Community by Andy Stanley/ Bill Willits
Winning with People by John Maxwell
Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn
The Likeability Factor by Tim Sanders
Jewish Sources in Early Christianity David Flusser
First Impressions by Mark Waltz

Total number of books read = 14
Total number of pages read = 2429 (Yes, I count)
