It’s been two months since I started this book log, and I thought it might be amusing to pull out some statistics.
In two months, I’ve read forty-one books (some of these were omnibuses or collections, but I’m not counting their components) and three short stories. This figure is probably higher that it would usually be because I was commuting or on vacation for one of those months. Of these, twenty-three were new and twenty-one were re-reads. These books were by twenty-six different authors (counting the Lee & Miller collaborations as one author), plus a serial novel.
The log was updated about four times a week (mean: 4.2, median: 4); the most it was updated was six times in a week, and the least was two. This is slightly lower than the average number of things read per week, 4.9; while a few posts were unrelated to books, several posts were about more than one book.
The log has gone through a number of changes since it started, including small adjustments to its appearance and the addition of the index by author, but should be fairly stable now.
Finally, I think I’ve counted all this right, and gosh, I do read a lot of books . . .
