I too went through a reading funk last year but this year, I did much better. I didn't hit my overall goal of 66 books but I'm very pleased with the quality of the books I read. So my favorites were The Amen Corner by James Baldwin, One Blood by Denene Millner, Sweet Whispers Brother Rush by Virginia Hamilton, and Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby. For 2024, I plan on adding more memoir and personal essay books to my list because I'm attempting to write a collection of personal essays. If you have any good recs, ket me know. Happy holidays and a safe new year to you and your loved ones, Stanley ❤
Thanks for sharing your list, I thought I read most of Baldwin books, but I never read the “Amen Corner” I’ll check that out. One of my favorite essay books is from Damian Young, it’s called “What doesn’t Kill you, Makes you Blacker”
Read the HBR book Stanley recommended. It's not on the list here, but it was the first 90 days. I also read quite a few books but nowhere the number I'd like to. Interesting enough I really liked The Great Escape and Living and Dying on the factory floor. A book I won't forget is man's search for meaning.
