Complete Reading List -

My complete reading list documents all the books I have read broken down by year. It is my goal to read 15+ books per year. A feat I achieved in 2011, but fell dismally short in 2012. My rational for reading 15+ books per year is as follows:

Read 20 minutes per day, I am a slow reader so I can read 1 page every 2 minutes, average book length of 250 pages.

20 minutes x 365 days = 7300 minutes/year. 7300/2 (1 page per 2 minutes) = 3650 pages/year. 3650/250 (average book length) = 14.6 books read per year.
