My 2024 Reading List
This year I have read 32 books, including 25 by women and a 2-book duology by a non-binary author. (This pattern wasn't intentional, only noticed in hindsight). Too many strong contenders for a really definitive Book Of The Year, but if I were forced to pick just one, it might have to be Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, which is too much of a perfect confluence of all the things I love to resist claiming the title. There were lots of really solid books this year, but also one absolute clanger - Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis, which I gave up on after 100 pages of disgustingly flagrant sexism (so I haven't included it in my book count). Sure, books written almost a hundred years ago often have outdated ideas (and I've read and enjoyed plenty of classics), but this was just relentless and I couldn't see past it to enjoy the book at all. It's very rare for me to DNF a book, so you know it's bad. On to happier things, here is this yea...
