Continuing another tradition, here are the books I read in 2023. Similar to my previous post highlighting my top posts of 2023, I also skipped publishing my reading list last year, for 2022. Again, I was simply too burnt out by the end of that year. I also did not read that much compared to previous years — thanks again to burnout. You can find previous years here under the #reading-list tag.
Since I skipped last year, I’ll include everything for 2022 and 2023 in this list. As usual, these are in no particular order but I’ve grouped books by the same author together.
- The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love, by bell hooks
- Bone Black, by bell hooks
- All About Love: New Visions, by bell hooks
- Night Sky with Exit Wounds, by Ocean Vuong
- Time Is a Mother, by Ocean Vuong
- Happy-Go-Lucky, by David Sedaris
- The Hidden Life of Trees, by Peter Wohlleben
- War and Peace in Kurdistan, by Abdullah Öcalan
- Liberating Life: Woman’s Revolution, by Abdullah Öcalan
- Arabian Love Poems, by Nizar Qabbani
- Salt Houses, by Hala Alyan
- How to Be an Antiracist, by Ibram X. Kendi
Hopefully, I can get back into a better reading routine for 2024.
