2010: Summary

[bibliogramma]

In 2010, I read 63 books, 60 fiction and 3 non-fiction; 22 of these were re-reads (%). A total of five of these were anthologies, and so have been excluded from the demographic analysis of authorship.

By gender:
Books written by women: 46.7%
Books written by men: 48.3%
One book was co-written by a man and a woman

By nationality:
American: 78.3%
British: 6.6%
Canadian: 8.3%
Other: 1.6%

Book by writers of colour: 6.6%

Not a particularly characteristic year for me in terms of , probably because such a large proportion of this year's reading consisted of re-reads of science fiction by White American men.
