Reading

My New Year’s Resolution in 2015 was to read a book a week. I thought it was attainable based on my reading habits prior to that point. However without any real data, I was not sure how difficult it would be. I have used this site to keep track of what I was reading, adding a little bit of metadata to the posts to keep track of things like genre and how good or bad I thought the book was.

The reading a book a week project was a success, but without that specific goal my reading habits have fallen off a little bit. How do I know this? I continued to keep track of the data by posting here every time I read a book. Everything below is generated from those posts when the site builds.
