I exceeded my reading goal this year. I set a target of 25 and read 48 books. I was asked last week to pick my top 3 books, and my response was it’s hard to pick 3 books when you’ve read so many books! But I’ll keep thinking about it and see if I can highlight some ultimate favourites.
Endurance by Alfred Lansing is actually the best book I’ve ever read. It’s about Ernest Shackleton’s failed voyage across Antarctica in 1910. The most incredible story of survival and evidence humans can be resilient.
I listened to and read 30+ books in 2023 and also struggle to cite a best one. But if I had to choose I think you put me onto it - Four Thousand Weeks. It was terrific.
The Loudest Duck will certainly shape my views on diversity and inclusion as I head into 2024.
Kitty Flanagan’s Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies was great when I needed a laugh.
And I’m currently listening to Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry. Sad to have lost him in 2023 but hopefully he is in a better place now.
I’ll be checking out a few from your Bookstagram this year, what a great concept.
What was 4000 weeks like?
