A visual representation of reading habits, often circular, showcasing the proportion of different genres, authors, or formats consumed within a specific timeframe is a growing trend among avid readers. For example, a reader might dedicate half their “pie” to fiction, a quarter to non-fiction, and the remaining portion to graphic novels. This method allows for reflection on reading diversity and identification of potential areas for exploration.
Tracking reading in this manner promotes mindful consumption of literature and facilitates the setting of reading goals. It can reveal unconscious biases towards specific genres and encourage broader literary horizons. Historically, readers have tracked their progress through lists or journals; this visual method offers an engaging alternative, fostering a deeper understanding of individual reading preferences in a shareable format. It offers an opportunity for connection and discussion within the reading community.
