Here is a list—in chronological order—of books I read in 2024. I apologize there are no accents on certain authors’ names. I had to convert a PNG to Word because I was an idiot and deleted the Word file. Also, the cool death metal-inspired font is not here, because, well, Substack. Anyway, here is the list of 38 definitive titles and a bonus 39th…
