Reading

Hello!

This year I have began to track what I read and how many pages I read each day.

I have developed a crude Excel sheet for this. Anyone know of a good PC program that does this, keeping daily, monthly, and yearly statistics?

Thanks!

You might spend more time doing this than reading. I just write a short review in an A4 ring folder each time a book is finished. I list the author, title and year published (or copyrighted), and the date of the review.
After a while, these can be fun to look back on.

GoodReads does a good job for a lot of people.

I wanted more of my own control so I made my own Google Sheet file so that I can get what I want. You can see some of the things I track in my 2018 book list post.

Actually, not. The sheet is pretty simple and tracks only daily time on each successive read, each day, with the formulas already doing most of the work. I have certain goals I want to reach, and have been doing the goal thing-- without the tracking-- for over a decade, easily.
