150 books in 2015

I just ran the stats on my reading goal.

Looks as though I read 3,549 pages since mid-February 2015, from 43 different books. That’s pretty much bang on 10 pages per day, which is the slope of my Beeminder goal.

Here’s a summary:

Recreational reading was dominated by The Name of the Rose in Italian (which I’m beeminding one page per day), with a hefty chunk of The Unbearable Lightness of Being in French during my recent consulting engagement in Paris. The bulk of my reading is in English, so I only summarised languages for ‘fiction’ and ‘history’, and excluded foreign-language reading from the subject graph.

As measured by pages, freelancing/career looks hefty, but those books tend to be fluffy, so don’t take very long to get through. I’m building up an independent consulting practice, hence the heavy concentration of sales-oriented business books in 2015.

Update: clarified the non-romantic nature of my visit to Paris (:
