In 2022, my reading was affected (adversely in terms of numbers) by devoting much time to writing novels, a pattern that began last year when I focused on this long form: in 2020, I read 403 books, but read 209 in 2021 and for 2022 read only 91 books. As with last year, the effect was caused from reading books relevant to my novels-in-progress versus reading for exploration/discovery/enjoyment. Nonetheless, I managed to insert books from the latter factors, and here are the results below.
