This is less than the number I recorded last year (13).

Each book was about 370 pages long. The shortest book I read was "The Mexican Revolution: A Very Short Introduction" (152 pages). The longest book I read was "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" (817 pages).

Zero of the books I finished were published within the last 5 years. Seven of the books I finished were published more than 20 years ago.

For each book, about 10 days passed between the day I started reading and marking it finished. The book that took me the longest to read was Capital in the Twenty-First Century (328 days).

We can also visualize this distribution as a survival curve. From this plot, we can estimate the probability of a new book taking X-many days to finish. Looking at the entire dataset, the curve predicts that almost 50% of books are finished before 30 days, and around 75% are finished after 90 days.

And here's a list of each book I read. You can read my notes/summary of the book by clicking on its title.
