Marley's Reading

A few months into 2023, it ocurred to me that I was hardly reading any books, despite having plenty of books to read and plenty of time in which to read them. To change this, I set myself a challenge to read 40 books by the end of the year. It was tough, but I managed it successfully. Going into 2024, I aimed my sights higher, at 52 books. I'm currently on track to succeed.

I have always been a reader, but it started to take a backseat in my life as I got older, especially when I went to university. I am glad that I have been able to reverse that process, and also to increase the variety of reading material that I consume.

A complete list of all the books I have read since I made a Goodreads account in 2023 can be found here.

To make sure that I am keeping an adequate pace, I track my daily reading in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This allows me to share plots like those below which give a good indication of how my reading pace increases and decreases at different times through the year.
