A very very slight improvement on the manga ratio.  Non-fiction has gone up, though not so much as a percentage of the total.   Children&#8217;s\/YA has also gone up, but that&#8217;s neither bad nor good; that category includes things like Harry Potter so doesn&#8217;t really mean less pages read in any case.<\/p>\n<p>New: 100<br \/>\nPreviously Read: 91<\/p>\n<p>A definite improvement here.  This was helped a great deal by my increased patronage of the library (in turn spurred by working there.)   But it also came down to the fact that I picked up several new series this year and thus plowed through a couple dozen books, all of which were new.  If I want to keep that up for next year, I&#8217;ll have to add additional series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2004 Tally Total Read: 191 items I had some goals for this year, one of which was to read 24 non-fiction items (2 per month).
