In the interests of national security, this is everything I read in the last year. 16,616 pages, the most I've read in a single year since 1996. 47 books with an average rating of 7.64 (.04 higher than last year) and average of 353 pages each. That's 158,261 pages since I started keeping track in early 1994 (433 books). You are free to disagree with my ratings. I've often noted that I should have an immediate rating (what you see below) and a "six months later" rating, but I have yet to implement anything that fancy.
That two month gap from September through November...um...well...it's not entirely coincidence that it's right before I switched to my new job. I don't read so much when I'm in a bad mood.
