My 2019 Read/Watched List

Following in the footsteps of Steven Soderbergh, for the last couple years I’ve been tracking and publishing everything I read and watch. I did it in in 2016, 2017, and 2018 if you missed them. I assume no one really cares about my list but I like keeping track of it and publishing it keeps me on it.

This past year, I saw 71 films, watched multiple episodes of 27 TV shows, plus football games (Go Seahawks!), and read 32 books. I watched more movies and shows than last year but my book consumption dropped. Hmmm…I felt like I read a lot this year but it might be that I’m reading longer books.

Anyway, here’s the key:

BOLD CAPS = MOVIE (at home or in theater)

CAPS = TV SHOWS (includes Netflix)

Lowercase Italicized = Books
