I know is March and is already too late to think about a year wrap-up, but I thought I needed to do this, so I made some graphics. Let's see how I did in terms of diversity in 2013:
*I read 23 books in 2013
*From those 23 books, I read:
| Author's nationality | Number of books |
| Mexico | 4 |
| Argentina | 3 |
| Spain | 2 |
| Italy | 1 |
| US | 6 |
| Hungary | 1 |
| Germany | 1 |
| Great Britain | 1 |
| Brazil | 1 |
| France | 1 |
| Australia | 1 |
| South Corea | 1 |
| Author's gender | Number of books |
| Men | 19 |
| Women | 4 |
| Books' language | Number of books |
| Spanish | 18 |
| English | 6 |
Even though I read a lot of authors from different parts of the world, it is quite obvious that my major influence the past year in terms of literature was from US authors, which I am not quite pleased with, I need more diversity. Also, without counting Australia I read 12 books of "Western authors" and 11 of authors from anywhere else. And to be honest, I am not doing any better this year, from the 5 books I had read so far, they all are US or British authors, so I have a little bit more than 9 months to change that, let's see if I make it.
In terms of gender, I am quite worried about, because I am not being equal enough, since 19 of the books I read were written by men and 4 by women. That is just terribly sad, and something I really need to start working on.
Finally, I read 18 books in Spanish and 6 books in English, this year though, I think I might be reading more in English.
I hope I can improve my reading statistics for this year, we'll find out next January.
