I read 222 books in 2009. The list is here.
49 of them were ebooks. (Actually, the number is probably slightly higher than that, because I imagine I probably forgot to give some of them the "ebook" tag on LibraryThing.) Rated 5 stars: 28 Rated 4 stars: 101 Rated 3 stars: 63 Rated 2 stars: 19 Rated 1 star: 4 Unrateable for one reason or another (generally because they were for research rather than for enjoyment): 7 I exercise a lot, and usually read when I exercise (on the treadmill or the stationary bike), so I get a lot of reading done that way. I also read every night before going to bed, and I don't watch much TV. |

I read 12 new books and re-read around 6 others. I keep to a 1 book a month and it usually takes me 2-3 weeks to finish a novel. I admit I'm a rather slow reader, I usually like to mull over the words and re-read passages a lot and only read a few chapters a day.
But thinking about this, on my Sony, the books I read are 700+ pages of small font text. Many are over 1000. 700 pages * 200 books / 365 days would be 384 ebook pages a day every day. At 700 books in a year that would over 1300 pages a day. No way I could do that, my brain would explode. The good news for me is I already have my 12 books lined up for 2010. Half are physical and half are ebook. |

Today I can answer:
And I keep a list in Excel, an access database for paper books and other for electronic books, and goodreads too. |
