Reading List 2024

This is the latest I’ve published my reading list for the last 6 years. I typically start my reading list for the year by carrying over unread stuff from the last year, but this time I’m going to start off with the books I think I should really be reading at this point, and continue with things I have in progress that I should complete at some point.

Edit - Feb 2015 - my initial list turned out to be wishful thinking. I have it archived here, but here's what I actually ended up reading.
