Readings 2013

This last year, in 2013, I read some 7,096 pages of academic literature (with author known), according to my notes (not so much). This is not much different from the 7,310 pages I read in 2012.

As in 2012, Jakob von Uexküll was the scholar I read most "about" - this time ahead of Aristotle, Kant, Husserl and Gadamer (top 5).
