1 Million Pages

I got the following idea from the lovely Mad Scientist over at Steampunkery and Book Reviews. She's giving herself the long-term goal of reading 1,000,000 pages in her lifetime. It's a pretty lofty goal but for lifelong bookworms it seems pretty doable. So I'm setting myself the same goal, starting with the books that I read in March. I'll be using this page to keep track of my progress.

Goal: 1,000,000 pages
