Once again I’ve compiled a list of my reading from the past year. This year I split up books and audiobooks rather than using “page equivalents” like I did last year. I also haven’t compiled as many graphs as I did last year, but I may add these over time. See also my reading lists from previous years (2008, 2009)
Statistics
- Total # of books: 23
