I resolved last year to keep a reading list. I was successful and maybe keeping a list helped me to reach my goal of reading 100 books. This year, in January I read something like 3,000 pages for pleasure and as academic work. 3,000 Pages! That is the most I have ever read in a single month that I know of.
Here is January’s reading list for those who are interested.
