One of my favorite film directors, Steven Soderbergh, has been cataloging the movies, TV shows, and plays he has watched, along with the books and short stories he has read, over the period of a year and then publishing the list every year since 2009. In 2015, one of my favorite sites, FiveThirtyEight, turned his Seen, Read 2014 list into an eye-catching, informative graph.
You can find Steven’s lists from prior years here: 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009.
Inspired by both the data tracking and resulting visualization, I started tracking what I watched and read throughout the year beginning in 2014. I continued to keep track the following years and now have published lists every year since. The results of my media consumption for 2019 are below.
I’m still not tracking video games. Sorry.
Trivia
- I watched 199 TV shows (+69 vs 2018), 55 movies (+24 vs 2018), and read 3 books (±0 vs 2018).
- My busiest days were on May 26, August 25, and September 12, when I watched a total of 4 movies and/or TV shows in a single day.
