And so it
ends. Thank you
ball boys, thank you linesmen. The year of reading is over. 366 days later and 370
books read. Not a bad effort. My spread sheet tells me that the numbers break
down like this:
Of the 370
books read:
181 were
Ebooks
168 were
Paperbacks
21 were
Hardcovers
48 were
non-fiction
81 were
graphic novels
240 were
fiction
1 was a
picture book
I won't go
into too much detail. I know not everyone gets excited by spread sheets and pie
charts. To put things in perspective here are some things that were read but
didn't count towards the target:
24 professional journals
27 sets of lecture notes
186 academic journal articles
3,235 webcomics
As well as roughly 127
newspapers which don’t really count as I never manage to read them cover to
cover, and more emails than I care to remember. At some point in the future I’ll
put together a highlights post. Not quite sure what I’m going to do with myself
this year. Miss R did mention something about a list of things she wants done … probably wants me to do more than just read it.
