I was on Goodreads and decided to break down the page counts to see how much time I approximately spent reading per year.I read about 40-100 pages an hour, so I used that to get a range for how many weeks per year are spent on just reading.
I also wanted to look at page length to see how I am averaging in general. I have only been keeping track of my reading since 2008, so I began there with the data.
In 2008, I read 103,909, which equate to between 6.1 to 15.4 weeks spent on reading. I also averaged 284.7 pages per book.
In 2009, I read 65,795 pages, which equates to between 3.9 to 9.8 weeks spent on reading. I averaged 300.4 pages per book.
In 2010, I read 47,091 pages which equates to between 2.8 to 7 weeks spent on reading. I averaged 303.8 pages.
In 2011, I read 39,540 pages which equates to between 2.3 to 5.8 weeks spent on reading. I averaged 326.77 pages per book.
In 2012, I read 43,713 pages, which equates to 2.6 to 6.5 week spent on reading. I averaged 408.5 pages per book.
So far in 2013, I have read 17,011 pages, which equates to 1.01 to 2.5 weeks. I have averaged 340.2 pages per book so far. About 40% of the year is over, so my estimated total at this rate would be around 2.5 to 6.25 weeks. This means I am in between the pace for 2011 and 2012, which seems logical, since 2011 is when I began college.
Anyways, this is a very random post, but I found it really interesting.
