Goals for 2018

I made this blog a long time back, never got around to publishing anything. So for this New Year i.e. 2018, this is my new project. The Goal is to read at the least 12 books this year, best case, 52 books a year. Let us see how far along I can get. Update 1: 4th January - Have finished 50% of Book no:1 of the year.
