I'm a casual reader. Every start of the year, my enthusiastic self sets a goal of finishing a number of books.
For the past years, I averaged around 20+ books, which I'm starting to believe is manageable to maintain. However, as of writing, the number seems unattainable this year. Will still try though.
Anyhow, here's the list for documentation.
