Recommended Reading 2023

Every year around this time, I post a list of books I really, really enjoyed over the last twelve months. I don’t artificially impose any sort of number I must reach — it’s not my Top Ten, for example. It’s just “of all the books I read this year, these are the ones I think you gotta read.”

Here you go:
