As the year draws to an end, here’s what the folks I follow read this year.
Vishal Khandelwal, has a couple of short, sweet posts on “The Books That Made Me.” Here’s Part 1 and here’s Part 2.
If you’ve already read (and reread) Taleb’s books, here’s a list of books he loves (and hates).
Here is Ryan Holiday’s evergreen list and here’s what he was unto in 2018.
Patrick Collison has a whole antilbrary. (via this ttfs episode).
James Clear wins most organised list.
I follow this not a blog and this tumblr, because these giants who I have grown up on, always have something to recommend.
Not an annual list per se, but Brett McKay’s recommendations have always been awesome!
And finally the big daddy of them all, the annual Farnam Street reading list. While Shane Parrish changed my life in more ways than one, by teaching me how to read and focus, it was his opinions on the books he read that made me follow him all those years ago.
My own eccentric list of books is here.
And there you have it. My little gift to you.
I have about a hundred of you awesome folk on this list. And no matter how infrequent or erratic I am, more than half of you always read every mail I send.
And you always have an encouraging word for me.
For your time, and your attention, and your little acts of kindness, I am truly humbled and thankful.
Merry Christmas to you all! And a Happy New Year!
Gratefully, Jason
