I like to read. It is my chosen form of escapism. After participating in the [Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge](https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/3082-2015-reading-challenge) I thought it might be fun to gather some further statistics about how my reading changed throughout the year. My goal had originally been 25 books, which I way exceeded with a count of 36. So, for 2016, I set it to 35 books. Some observations:

*   I started a new job at the beginning of March, so that kept me busy
*   May was high in page count due to rereading (I can reread faster than I can read a fresh book)
*   Tiffany and I went on vacation in September, so lots of books there

And here is a nice collage of the titles taken from Goodreads.
