In 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I published lists of books I enjoyed every year. Then I published the list of those I read from 2014 to 2019. I did not keep any records about 2020, that’s sad.
Here’s the complete list of books I read and enjoyed in 2021. There’s a little bit of everything, from poetry to programming to business to philosophy. You can check what I’m reading right now if you’re interested, too.
