This year I have set my goal high: completing 100 books from start to finish. For this, I need to consistently read about 2 books per week(2 * 52 = 104). I plan to read the classics and the most recommended books from the West and India. This will dovetail two objectives: a) Cutting down the time I spend mindlessly on reddit, youtube and so on. b) Assimilating more thoughtful material to ruminate over and write down my thoughts on.

I created a blog just today to record my notes and thoughts on some of what I read, at https://chitramdasgupta.bearblog.dev/

This is a great idea. I've read >100 books over each of the past 5 years (2022: 121, 2021: 183, 172, 193, 208). My goal is 156 this year. (Tracking via Goodreads). Probably 90% of mine are audiobooks, otherwise kindle, and only rarely paper books, but it's mostly replaced music, TV, movies, and other non-interactive online media. I realized reading only 10-20 books per year, I'd never get to even 1% of the books I'd want to read in my lifetime, but there's no TV show I'd be unhappy not having watched 10 years later.
