This challenge is an awesome idea. After evaluating my collection I realize I can really use this challenge and I look forward to completing it. I'll start with a summary and my goals, then I'll post the completed subclasses later.
Summary
Classes (15/21)
Complete: E, M, Z
Subclasses (46/250)
Goal One: Read at least one book from each class.(E, F, J, K, N, S, V) (+7 books)(52/250)
Goal Two: Read all of the books I own that will fulfill subclasses I haven't read yet. (+18 books)(70/250)
Goal Three: A slightly modified version of nperrin's goals. (+44 books)(114/250)
If I've read 1-2 books, my goal will be 3 (C, K, R, S, V)
If I've read 3-5 books, my goal will be 6 (A, G, J, L, N, Q, T, U)
If I've read 6-9 books, my goal will be 10. (D, H, P)
If I've read 10 or more books, my goal will be to finish the class! (B)
Goal Four: I'll take stock at this point and see how thing are going.
