Since this is an annual ritual, I’m sharing the list of books I read in 2022. As you can see, the list features books that cover a variety of topics. Although I don’t regret reading any of them, I want to be more selective with the books I read moving forward, since reading books is an incredibly time-consuming process. Also, I included all the new books I read, as well as a few books I re-read in 2022 so that I could work on a summary for the site. I thought about it for a while and I ultimately decided to omit the books I started but never finished. Here’s the list of books in no particular order.
