I read 1000 more pages in 2012.
Since I do a similar breakdown...

I'm on book 152 for 2013 and will probably finish it by the end of the year. Not counting that:

2013:
Books - 151
Pages - 44246
Average - 293

2012:
Books - 156
Pages - 44722
Average - 286

2011:
Books - 115
Pages - 39622
Average - 344

(I actually have figures going back another couple of years, but I might as well stop at three.)

It's kind of eerie how similar the 2012/2013 numbers are. Book 152 is about 400 pages, which will bring the page count to less than 100 pages from last year's mark. I think switching to ebooks (between 2011/2012) has inflated my book count a bit by allowing me to pick up tie-in short fiction, which accounts for the drop in average page count.
