2023 Reading

Time to close out my reading for 2023! I surpassed my goal of 36 with 54 (several of them shorter). Next year, I should include all the other books I read with my son. :-)

A Breakdown:
5 Novels (?)-- My fav was “Demon Copperhead” and runner-up was “The Sympathizer”. “Demon Copperhead” was also my fav overall for the year!

6  (Semi-)Related to Science-- “Breathless”, “How the World Really Works”, and “Range” especially resonated with me. “Your Inner Fish” was also pretty good.

 
6 (Auto)Biographies or Historical Portraits (a gripping one often reads like a good novel!)-- “And There Was Light” (Lincoln), “G-Man” (J. Edgar Hoover) and “PTL” (Jim Bakker) all stood out.

 
30+ Devotional, Faith-, and Ministry-Related Titles (Besides the Bible)-- The especially thoughtful “Proverbs: A Shorter Commentary”, “Jesus and the Eyewitnesses”, and “Rediscovering Jonah” especially spoke to me.

 
Though I haven’t had to commute for a while, I’m thankful I was able to multi-task by listening to 17 audiobooks either driving or working out at the gym.

 
Friends who enjoy reading: What titles did you most relish this past year?
