Book Log : Some People Juggle Geese

I read a lot. I've been keeping a book log since the beginning of 1999. I've read 2056 books since then (about 88 books per year).

Below is the list for this year. See complete list.

Factfulness
by author Hans Rosling We forget that things really are better than they were. This guy seems to have concrete facts to back up the assertion.

1000 Character Classic
by Evelyn Lip This is a book of elliptical four-character Chinese proverbs, one on each page, illustrated and explained.

Empires of the Word
by Nicholas Ostler This is history through the lens of language spread. Very cool.

30 books finished so far.

10,147 pages in the selected books (an average of about 338 pages each).

That's an average of about 12 days per book (assuming no overlap) or 18 days per book (taking actual overlap into consideration), which is equivalent to 30 books (or 10,174 pages) per year. Or 28 pages per day, actually.

Typical number of books in progress simultaneously: 1.

Fiction books: 15 (50%)
