it’s that time of the year again, when I look back and see how many books have kept me more or less sane throughout the year.

Here’s the stats and the list, and since 2025 marked my 10 years’ experience with e-reading, I am also posting some widers stats, because basically I am that nerdy. 🙂

From 2015 to 2025 I have read 309 books (they would definitely fill a library shelf), for a total of 97629 pages. Here’s a couple of graphs for the visual people. Although I did read a good number of books in 2016, if you look at pages read, my most prolific years were the last 3, with more than a thousand pages per month read.
