A quiet reading corner, from the journal of Nicole Brachetti Peretti

Reading

Reading Pace Planner

A shelf is a kind of diary. These are the books that earned a place on it, with a sentence or two about why they stayed.

Read the blog

A small planning aid for a reading list. Enter how many pages a book has and how much reading time you expect to give it, and the planner works out roughly how long it will take and what a steady weekly pace looks like.

Enter your numbers and the planner will show a rough pace.

This planner is a simple arithmetic aid. It runs entirely in your browser, stores nothing and sends nothing anywhere. Reading speeds vary a great deal from person to person and from book to book, so treat every figure here as a rough estimate for planning rather than a target, and not as advice of any kind.

Nicole Brachetti Peretti keeps the rest of the journal, and the blog has the latest notes.

The best books do not end when you close them. They keep arranging your thoughts for days afterward.
