[kibs] Personal KIBS Goal 2018: Read the Entire 'Xeelee Sequence'

I'm setting myself the goal of reading the entire 'Xeelee Sequence' by Stephen Baxter during 2018. I'm including all 10 novels and all three short-story collections that are currently available. There's a novel scheduled for release in 2018 but this *won't* be included in my plan -- I'll read it in 2019 if I decide to keep going.

Since this is a personal goal taken in addition to the Book Theme 2018 project, failure to complete the entire sequence will not attract a Standard Violation Penalty. With that said, any individual book, once started, will be subject to the rules set out in the Constitution.
