Ten Year Reading Experiment Grand Finale Reading Total (2008-2017)

Seeing as I don't think I'll be finishing any more books this late in the year, I suppose I can go and post this now.

 

For most of my life, I’ve been a voracious reader. Yet when I started work as a bookseller at Barnes & Noble in February 2004, I found after awhile that I wasn’t reading nearly as many books as I used to (perhaps as a consequence of being surrounded by books all day). In 2006, I began posting at Dennis Cooper’s blogs, and making friends with various people on there, and one thing that impressed me about that crowd at that time was how well-read and erudite so many of the people there were at the time. Around that same point of time Dennis posted a list of his top 50 novels, which also impressed me… I decided I wanted to make such a list as well, but that I needed to read way more books first. So at the end of 2007, I made a plan: to try to read 50 books a year for a ten year span, so that after ten years I’d have around 500 books read. I decided the best way to go about doing this was to keep a list of all the books I read during the year. You know how the human mind works when it comes to keeping a list: it’s only natural to want to add to it.

 

Well, now that ten years have passed, I suppose I can post the fruit of my labors. As one can see, I did end up hitting at least 50 books a year (and in some cases far surpassing that) for ten years, so that I ended up with 812 books read (which amounts to an average of 81 books read a year). In truth, that number should be higher: for the first year, in 2008, I only kept track of fiction books, and it was not until 2009 that I began keeping track of non-fiction as well. There were some graphic novels I read that, for whatever reason, I neglected to mark down as well, and in 2016 I read 32 of Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury collections that also went unmarked (as I didn’t want the list to appear that cluttered). So, if you factor all that into account, a more accurate number would probably be close to 870 books read.

 

As one can see, they are listed by the order in which they were read, and classified by the book’s title, its writer/editor, and the date on which I finished reading it. An * mark following the date indicates that the book in question was a re-read. Also, don’t bother looking up info on anything by Tom or Andrew Champagne: those books are unpublished books written by my younger brothers.
