Everything I Read in 2024

Taking tabs on my psychologically abbreviated year of text consumption with sparing highlights and some favs

I didn’t read as much as I have in years past. The first third of the year I felt like I had rocks in my head, and the middle of the year I felt empty stomached. Currently I feel ok but brainspace is less sticky than usual.

Made some brief notes on some of this year’s standouts, and highlighted some of my personal favs. Underlined titles have links to where I wrote about them previously. Also not included are numerous books in manuscript form.

For every book on this list I have 2-3 more that wanted reading this year and should be on here if I’d had better focus. Next time I hope to get back to doing my more usual numbers.

The below photo of my deskside shelf includes a top layer of things pending, and a bottom layer including some of my other favs from the end of 2023.
