      <description><![CDATA[<p>Since August last year I’ve been keeping track of my reading via <a href="https://bencrowder.net/coding/bookkeeper/">Bookkeeper</a>, as I’ve mentioned before. It wasn’t till the other day, though, that I realized I could pull stats on how many pages I’m reading each day.</p>
<p>For curiosity’s sake, then, here are the charts. I wrote a Python script to get the data from Bookkeeper and then charted it all in Numbers. You can click on any month to get a bigger image. X axis is day of month, Y axis is number of pages.</p>
<p>Also: Those two crazy 600-page days in December and April were awesome, but man, they make everything else look small. Oh well.</p>
