In 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I published lists of books I enjoyed every year. Then I enumerated those I read from 2014 to 2019, and then the ones of 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Here’s the complete list of books I read and enjoyed in 2024. There’s a lot, and a little bit of everything, but in particular there are a lot of books about AI, psychology, business, and finance.
You can check what I’m reading right now if you’re interested, too. Enjoy!
