What I read in 2016

I started 2016 making a special push to get more books read that year, and especially to try to get into more genres and more non-fiction. I'm pretty pleased with the results. At the end of the year I had 69 books finished (27,500 pages), which is more than any year other than 2008. In 2008 I was happily consuming Discworld, Honor Harrington and The Serrano Legacy series on audiobook while bicycle commuting, so that alone is a huge volume.

Now that I'm doing the wrap-up, I see that the book count is somewhat inflated because Goodreads is counting the short stories as well. I didn't count them below. So perhaps 65 is a more accurate count, or perhaps 65.5.

Meanwhile, every time I finish a book and skip back to the main page on the Kindle to see what to read next, I'm faced with a hard choice. I already have a dozen books that I want to read next, and more that would be in the same boat but I haven't loaded them yet. I guess it's a good problem to have.

BTW I'd be happy to have more Goodreads friends. This is me on Goodreads

Photo of the /d/a/y/ /w/e/e/k/ whatever

I'm sure I won't keep up with posting a photo a day, but it's a nice goal. One a week is probably achievable. I've been going through photos from years past and there are quite a few.
