I love to read but many of the books I 'read' these days are audio books because of how much I travel for work. My reading habits are a bit chaotic, and it seems I either binge a book in a couple weeks or take years of stopping and starting. However, since I started tracking my reading 5 years ago I've gotten much better at not leaving books on the back burner. I love to learn about and read history, science fiction, biographies, essays, politics, philosophy, popular science, and more. Recently I've become interested in reading classics too.
I consider the day a book is acquired to be when I start reading it. This is mostly for motivational purposes, otherwise I will get distracted by new books. I will likely move away from this system in 2025.
I love the concept of Bookyrm, and after tracking my reading in spreadsheets for the past 5 years I have now moved it all to Bookwyrm.

Putnam collected an impressive array of facts, creating charts and a surprisingly easy to read narrative all to say... not much. Where he has a chance to talk about important factors in American life, such as racism and income quality, he largely ignores them. When they are discussed, the reader is given a high-school textbook level overview only.
Whatever value there was to this book feels like it became irrelevant after 2008, or maybe even 2003. In 2025 it is irrelevant and not worth your time.
