Reading Report 2024
Now in the seventh year of my “reading report” I didn’t intend for it to be a “sabbatical”. I missed my goal by quite a bit. Not surprisingly I basically read nothing in October or November as I was distracted by current events. My Year in Books. The foundation is still fundamentally sound and I plan to strive for 40 books in 2024.
Here are the stats with the change from the previous year in parentheses.
- Books Read: 29 (-15)
- Fiction Books: 19 (-8)

- Pages Read: 10,996 (-4,297)
- Longest Book: 608 (Lords of Uncreation)
- Shortest Book: 160 (The Vietnam War A Graphic History)
- Mean Book Length: 379 (+31)
- Median Book Length: 350 (+2)
- Month with most books read: January (5)
- Month with fewest books read: October (0)
