Proposed method for estimating how much a person has read using an electronic library

Introduction Many studies show that self-assessment is hard and often biased in a positive direction, i.e., people tend to overestimate themselves. Therefore, if one wants a correct self-assessment one needs to either adjust for the bias or develop some 'objective' method for self-assessment of the attribute in question or something else. In the course of my self-assessment I have come across the problem of assessing how much I have read in number of books and articles (journal, Wikipedia, and others). There are various methods to do this which I will discuss in this essay.
