What a cute graphic! Good luck with your aim, I should probably set an aim for myself, do you have other book aims or just the number? How's the reading going so far?
It was just a simple google search - I'm not skilled enough to make my own :) Thanks! I've just got the number so far, there's a lot I'd like to reread as well, for instance the final book in The Power of Five series by Anthony Horowitz recently came out (AFTER FOUR YEARS OF WAITING!!) so I want to reread the previous books before reading the finale. The reading's going well so far I've got a fair few books to read for my two English classes at Uni so that's definitely helping as obviously I've got to read them by certain times. Yes, choose a number - I'm sure you'll meet it! Plus it's a great incentive!
Rereading is good! Though there are so many awesome books out, sometimes it's a shame to 'waste' time rereading others. I understand your desire to reread thhose books before you read the new one though.
I guess English classes will help! :D
I'm definitely going to pick a number, perhaps a handful more than I read last year. I also intend to read 1 classic and a book I bought that I don't actually like from reading the first chapter...I have too many impulse buys, I will force myself to finish this one. :P
Yeah that's how I feel - I buy so many books that I feel as if I shouldn't do any rereads because I have too many new ones sitting on my shelf wanting to be read.
Woo! Looking forward to see how you do. :) Well I'm not that good at reading classics to be honest... Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit maybe? The one I keep thought of straight away is Jane Eyre because I did that at both college and Uni and now hate it because of it :P
Haha, if I was let loose in a book shop with an indefineable amount of money I would come out with a house full.
Classics are awkward, hey! I can't read the LOTR stuff, it's not my kind of fiction at all. I think I accidentally ignored it in my film post comments?! Lol. I tried watching the first one.
Jane Eyre would be cool but I've seen TV adaptations and I'd rather have a clean slate with a classic...part of me doesn't want to read any of the ones everyone knows, haha. I started reading Persuasion just for the hell of it but I was sleepy and fell asleep. I couldn't remember much, except someone called William and his father or son?! Haha. That was about page 1. :P
I can understand hating books because of studying them - Wuthering Heights for me. Yet I love To Kill A Mockingbird because of studying it, go figure!

Any good suggestions for classics?

Speaking of classics, I just saw this post on Tumblr that has a load of classics which you can download for free - even if you don't download them at least it can maybe give you some ideas? :)
