Welcome to my reading list!

I began this project in early 2006 after having made a New Year's resolution to do more recreational reading. My thought at the time was that tracking my progress would help motivate me to continue reading. To date, I have found this supposition to be reasonably well supported.

Since I began tracking my progress, I have read 1,207 books totaling 436,776 pages (approximately 109.2 million words).
