The 5 best books I’ve read this year

Many of you know that I’m on a mission to read 52 books this year. A book a week.

The previous two years I averaged about 35 books, so I thought upping that to 52 would be doable. Not easy, but doable.

And somehow, someway, I’m actually ahead of schedule. I’ve read 41 books so far and there are 17 weeks left in the year.

The question I get most, other than ‘Uh, why again are you doing this, you psycho?‘ is ‘What are the best books you’ve read so far?‘ And so I thought I’d take stock and see what the best have been. Check out the full list if you’re curious what else I’ve read.
