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.

Year Total Pages Pace
2022 2 (73*) 665 332-page book / 5.0 days
2021 60 21,286 354-page book / 6.1 days
2020 37 14,142 382-page book / 9.9 days
2019 92 29,255 317-page book / 4.0 days
2018 69 24,218 350-page book / 5.3 days
2017 69 25,302 366-page book / 5.3 days
2016 73 23,993 328-page book / 5.0 days
2015 33 10,707 324-page book / 11.1 days
2014 63 19,361 307-page book / 5.8 days

* This is the number projected for the full year if I maintain my current pace.

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 339 pages).

Listed below are all 498 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.
