Every year, I publish a list of my favorite books I've read.
I periodically share my reading list with people on my private email list. If you want to see what I'm reading on a semi-regular basis, you can follow along here.
If you want to see my complete reading list, I post most books I read over here.
These are the Top 25 books I read this year (in no particular order). Asterisk denotes a re-read.
