It would be more accurate to title this post merely “Books I Read in 2024” because man oh man did I slack on reading this year. Long gone is my 80+ per year pace (pre-kids, crucially), replaced by not even hitting double digits. There are various reasons for this, but suffice it to say I hope to significantly raise that number in 2025.
Here’s what I did read and enjoy in 2024:
- BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity by Ruth Whippman
- A Brief History of Motion: From the Wheel, to the Car, to What Comes Next by Tom Standage
- Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow
- Creating Back to the Future The Musical by Michael Klastorin
- Fear Not!: A Christian Appreciation of Horror Movies by Josh Larsen
- The Infernal Machine: A True Story of Dynamite, Terror, and the Rise of the Modern Detective by Steven Johnson
- Long Island by Colm Tóibín
- The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper by Roland Allen
