A book-reading Substack I follow recently asked what we’ve been reading this first quarter of the year. I was kind of blown away at how many I’ve read so far. A few duds, but a lot of really good ones too. Here are the top 9 of the year so far (in no particular order):
- Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon – art, business
- Beartown Trilogy by Fredrik Backman (partial re-read) – literary fiction
- The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron (re-read) – art, philosophy
- Mindful Eating by Jan Chozen Bays – Buddhism
- In Cold Blood by Truman Capote – true fiction
- The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris – philosophy/religion
- Jazz by Toni Morrison – literary fiction
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley – scifi, dystopian
- The Way of Zen by Alan Watts – Buddhism
Let me know in the comments what you’ve read so far this year. And if you have any recommendations for what I read next.
