If you go into my books and then stats you can see not only how many books you have read but how many pages and what your longest book was. I wish the reading challenges gave you the choice between number of books or number of pages. I read 141 books with a total of 26,855 pages last year, the longest book I read was The Terror with 996 pages. Here is a link to all my books and what I rated them https://www.goodreads.com/review/stat...

To be fair, many of those were novellas. I don't think I'll come close to the mark this year though.

Yeah, I read some really big books last year. The Terror, the Kushiel books and A Game of Thrones were all huge.


message 11: by Char (new)

Char I read a lot of novellas too. I have noticed that a lot of Kindle books here don't have a page count.

140 books, and a total of 38,969 pages! I was only down about 500 pages from 2013, but read about 60 fewer books. I think I substitued numerous novellas for fewer but longer novels. Longest was The Passage (The Passage, #1) by Justin Cronin at 845 pages.

Page counts was 27,058
Longest Book - A Storm of Swords 1070 pages.


message 21: by Scott (new)

Scott (ttownscott) I read 40 books.
Page counts was 10,298
Longest book was - A Storm of Swords. My stats show it at 1,177 pages.
Less reading last year because I got a job close to home and have an 8 minute commute instead of 3 hours a day. This year I'll be lucky to read 20 books.
