My Reading List

I read a lot. I track my reading in Goodreads. Below are some statistics I've compiled over the last few years.

Note: Goodreads doesn't have page counts for a small percentage of titles. For any title with a page count of zero, I substituted the average page count of all other books (presently 332 pages).

Listed below are all 457 books I have logged on Goodreads with their star ratings, grouped by month. The linked title goes to my review.

Some titles do not have a star rating, usually because I felt I was the wrong audience for the book, in which case I didn't think it was fair to rate it.

When my rating of a book was at least 20% higher or lower than the average of other Goodreads users, I noted the variance.
