There's really no need to check it twice

In an effort to somewhat better my mind, I'm in the process of making a summer reading list. I've so far complied books I own and have on my pile to read, new titles by authors I enjoy, the books on the list we're reading for my book club, and a couple of classics I've always meant to get around to reading.

The problem is that once I make some sort of list, I feel as though I begin plowing through it just to get things ticked off the list, as is my personality. I see it as a personal challenge because I don't like having things not done on a list. However, I want to remember to enjoy the books I'm reading and not just read to check them off.

Anyway, I've got to make some sort of a goal this summer so I don't end up enveloped in the warm glow of the TV all the time. Not good for my mind :)
