Well, the year is half over and I have only read twenty-one books. That puts me well off the pace of my goal of sixty for 2018. I can chalk part of the reason for this to the amount of time that I have spent watching the FIFA World Cup. But, mostly it is due to encountering a bunch of proposed books that I find I have no interest in finishing. I am not going to let the probability of missing this goal to get me down. As, to paraphrase Miami Jones, once you start measuring something you enjoy it saps the fun out of it.
