How many words on average are you assuming each page would contain? The Arrow book is fairly large type, and I've taken a quick sample of average word count - around 280. That is lower than the usual average of 300-350 for a paperback, so I'd say the "real" number is nearer 400 pages.

That actually sound like it may be the way it is. But what I don't get is why the Arrow pBook edition is using such wonky formatting to inflate the number of pages.

Here it is. Apologies that took a while. I needed to add some sort of notes to make it understandable and I was away for the weekend.

Thank you! I am traveling and internet is spotty at best, so it may be next weekend before I can check it out.

I was just checking on my hold status for Making History and found that I was next in line which means I might get it in time for next week's discussion.
Literally 5 seconds after I closed the library tab my phone buzzed with a new email notification...Making History is now available. Yay! |

It’s a reasonably quick read, though you do have one or two other demands on your time, like the cookie owner!

@Latepaul, great sheet there. For me, I prefer having all years in the same sheet and, while I played with recording actual time read each day a few years ago, I decided that was too granular for me and didn't warrant the extra effort. |

Thanks. Ironically I am now thinking of simplifying it. I'm not sure I need/want to record time spent any more. I'll see. For whatever reason, the rate I've been reading this year is much greater so I'll have to either update the spreadsheet or re-work it at some point anyway (it has a fixed max of 61 books/year)
