Continuing this tradition, it's time for another update! Here are my current book length stats, in a table with the previous stats for comparison. Because HTML is fun!
| January 17, 2012 | July 17, 2012 | January 17, 2013 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| >1000 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

| >400 | 105 | 109 | 128 |

| Total | 648 | 701 | 750 |
Basically, other than the progress I made on the very longest books, all the numbers have gone up, because I just bought so many books last year! This year, I plan to be a lot more disciplined in terms of reading more books than I bring in each month. So hopefully at the next update the numbers will have gone down across the chart.
My three longest TBR books one year ago were The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll, Shōgun, and The Witching Hour. I ended up reading two of those. I didn't get to Shōgun. My mistake was waiting too long to get started; I didn't read any of these books in the first 6 months, so it ended up feeling like way too many pages. This year I'll make sure to start earlier rather than cramming near the end.
Here are my three longest books now, which I plan to read in the next year:
- Shōgun by James Clavell (1211 pages)
- Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke (1006 pages)
- The Golden Book of Faerie by O.R. Melling (946 pages)
