Listing of the >7k books I've read recently. Some claim it's actually data scraped from website [*Perlentaucher*](https://www.perlentaucher.de). Which you believe is up to you, but here's a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koPSzQWzwno) of my occasional reading activity (haters gonna say it's fake). |

## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
The data set contains information of books that have been reviewed at least once. |
|
The reviews are received from reputable German print media such as the *Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung* (FAZ), *Süddeutsche Zeitung* (SZ), *Die Zeit*, etc. and other serious broadcasters such as *Deutschlandfunk Kultur*. |
|
Those reviews are collected by the culture magazine [*Perlentaucher*](https://www.perlentaucher.de) and labeled as *read a lot* when there are at least three reviews of a book. |
|
|
|
[*Perlentaucher*](https://www.perlentaucher.de) publishes on a daily basis since the year 2000, except for German Sun- and holidays. On average, there are about *M*=12 (*SD*=5) bookentries per day. |

Data was harvested for all entries starting from March 15, 2000 to May 18, 2024. In total, the data set consists of 89,790 rows for 7,351 days and 15 columns. |
