📚 2024 Books Review
other 2024 reviews here
I am tracking all my completed books on my reading page and everything on Storygraph. (why Storygraph?) I would like to use micro.blog’s bookshelves, but it’s too buggy and incomplete at this stage.
This was a slow year, so I only completed 42 books. Here’s the summary from Storygraph.
Highly Recommended Books:
Non-Fiction:
- Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. Still a relevant diagnosis for many of our current ills. (book) (post)
- The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World… by David Graeber (posthumously). What if things don’t have to be the way they are? (book) (post)
- The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. We are reaping the results from sowing distorted thinking. (book) (post)
Fiction:
- The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (book) (post)
- The Curse of Chalion (World of Five Gods #1) by Lois McMaster Bujold (book) (post)
