Reading more books in 2022 📚

Saturday, December 24, 2022

I read many more books this year than in recent, past years. Although this was intentional, I’m glad it worked out. I really cut back on my various internet feeds, so that I was less distracted away from books. Purchasing a Kobo and connecting it to the local public library was also helpful.

The most influential non-fiction book for me this year was Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. Plenty of practical and insightful advice in this book.

Picking a favourite fiction book is always fraught. This year, I think it was A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. Something about the emotional core of this book really resonated with me.

Here’s the full list of books from the year:

Network Effect The Well of Ascension The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen A Wizard of Earthsea The Haunting of Tram Car 015 Marooned in Realtime A Short History of Canada Tiamat's Wrath Life's Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive Mistborn: The Final Empire (Mistborn, 1) Childhood's End Shift Exit Strategy: The Murderbot Diaries (The Murderbot Diaries, 4) A Psalm for the Wild-Built Plague Birds Among Others Starlight Tunnel 29 The Eye of the World Light From Uncommon Stars Arriving Today Piranesi Persepolis Rising The Space Between Worlds Shipstar Golem and the Jinni The Nova Incident A Series of Fortunate Events The Rook Record of a Spaceborn Few Harrow the Ninth (The Locked Tomb Trilogy Book 2) Trail of Lightning The Ghost Brigades A Closed and Common Orbit The Saints of Salvation Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore Salvation Lost The Stranger in the Lifeboat Four Thousand Weeks
