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 | 25 (75*) | 8,837 | 353-page book / 4.8 days |
| 2021 | 82 | 28,371 | 345-page book / 4.5 days |
| 2020 | 40 | 14,970 | 374-page book / 9.1 days |
| 2019 | 101 | 31,907 | 315-page book / 3.6 days |
| 2018 | 73 | 25,339 | 347-page book / 5.0 days |
| 2017 | 77 | 28,389 | 368-page book / 4.7 days |
| 2016 | 83 | 26,894 | 324-page book / 4.4 days |
| 2015 | 38 | 12,195 | 320-page book / 9.6 days |
| 2014 | 69 | 21,284 | 308-page book / 5.3 days |
Listed below are all 588 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.
