That's goodreads, mate

>> No.14286692

I usually average one book every fortnight, but the actual rate is wildly inconsistent; as in, I'll read three in two weeks and then then a month to read the next one.

You can plot it in excel as well because the CSV export in goodreads is really good

I drive and make deliveries too many days a week to read much, my eyes feel strained when I get home. I listen to novels now while driving. I get througj maybe 3 or 4 per month depending on the length. I listen to some over again because the dictator is so good.
Maybe 30 of these per year for the past 5 years now.
