Stick that in your Pope and smite it.

I MADE IT!!!
Three books a month was my goal for 2008. As of today I have made that goal and then some. Every month I read atleast 3 books sometimes more. Today I finished my third book for Decemeber and have accomplished my goal set in January. In total I have read 53 books in 2008. Think I can do 4 a month in '09?
