I was thinking over the books I read in 2024 which I posted yesterday.
Some of my favorite reads of last year...
The Marches by Rory Stewart: Poignant and fascinating look at a walk across England.
Montmarte - Paris's Village of Art and Sin by John Baxter. Baxter is always a fun, entertaining read.
Bewilderment by Richard Powers. Powers work is stunning and at the time I found it highly relatable.
The Nutmeg of Consolation by Patrick O'Brian. The Aubrey-Maturin series is always great.
Green Earth by Kim Stanley Robinson. A re-working and compilation of Robinson's Science in the Capital Trilogy. I found this work fascinating and timely.
Where'd You Park Your Spaceship? Book One, Welcome to Firdus by Rob Bell. The most pleasant surprise of the lot. A powerful and funny read. I'm currently reading Book Two of the series.
Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson. Excellent fiction about pre-historic humans. A surprising page turner.
The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. LeGuin. I found this work heart wrenching and at the end, hopeful.
