As [livejournal.com profile] fiveforsilver did, here are some stats about the books I read in 2008.

Total Scandinavian: 11
Total YA: 80
Total Sports (fic and non-fic): 14
Total audio: 18
Total graphic novels: 24
Total non-fiction: 9
Total gay: 13
Total books (all new): 171 (80 in 2007)

Goal for 2008: 170

Next year I want to read more non-fiction, maybe reread some books, and definitely dig into my pile of non-library books. I definitely should have kept track of which books were library books and which weren't, which I'll do for next year. I think I'll set my goal back to 100, because 170 was kind of ... too high, but there you go.

Some stats regarding my reading habits over the past year:

Total books: 156 (last year: 151)
Total new books: 71 (last year: 72)
Total pages: 42398 (last year: 49196)
Total audio book time: 33h22m (last year: no clue, very little)
Total graphic novels: 1 (last year: probably none)

F/SF rereads: 65 (last year: 72)
F/SF new reads: 51 (last year: 67)
Fiction rereads: 4 (last year: 4)
Fiction new reads: 11 (last year: 5)
Nonfiction new reads: 7 (last year: 2)

Average pages per day: 116 (last year: 135)
Unique books: 135 (last year: 132)
Books read two times during 2008: 12 (last year: 17)

I have no idea if these numbers add up. They're in the ballpark, which is close enough for me. There are some iffy genre questions - is apocalyptic fiction SF if it's pretty much realistic (i.e. Alas, Babylon)? Can a book be SF even if most people don't consider it to be (i.e. The Time Traveler's Wife)? But I just put things into the category I felt they were in at the time.

And here is my 2008 book poll
