Books in 2024

2024 was off to an even worse start than 2023. Early in the year, I fell sick enough to not be able to read and then got busy. And after a long time, just got so listless that even reading didn't appeal as much, esp since I had so many podcasts or shorter pieces to read. I rebooted my ability to read at least 25 pages at a time, thanks in large part due to Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time, which I found as lovely as any of his other works. The irony was that I got my largest set of books due to multiple people going nuts gifting! One saving grace was that I read a bunch of children's books, thanks to my boys

Anyway here they are

1. Survival of the Fittest by Mike Stroud*
2. Crossword Century by Alan Connor
3. Playful Parenting by Lawrence J Cohen
4. The Three Year Swim Club by Julie Checkoway
5. To the Limit by Michael Crawley
6. Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
7. Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
8. The Striker and the Clock by Georgia Cloepfil
9. Ergodicity by Luca Dell'Anna
10. You (Only faster) by Greg McMillan
11. I will judge you by your bookshelf by Grant Snider
12. How to know a person by David Brooks
13. The Microstress Effect by Rob Cross & Karen Dillon
14. Is it worth dying for? by Robert S Eliot

* which I found disappointingly dated although I chose it for the theme. I guess I would have loved it, had I read it 10+ years ago when I first heard of the author!
