I'm positively jealous that you're able to work in so much reading/listening time. I don't technically have a set goal, but I'm going to consider it a major victory if I can manage to read three more books this year than I did last year. While I am reading more than I was at this time last year, it doesn't do much to mitigate the fact that I have only completed four book thus far this year. Someday I'll be able to make more time for reading, but until then, I'll just live vicariously through family, friends and acquaintances who can compile lists like yours.
