Top Books of 2024
2024 was not a good reading year for me. I'm not quite sure what I spent most of the year doing, but it wasn't picking up a book. Having missed my 2023 goal (155) by just over half, I reduced the reading goal for 2024 to 150. Still too ambitious as I walked away with a meager 41%…

Fwiw, when I was so despondent about W.'s reelection, an older lefty told me about how much it sucked when Reagan was reelected in a way that suggested literally everybody loved him. To be on the left in the US is to always be aware it is so much easier to destroy than create. But that's life, baby.
