• Bag of bones: Made a post about this already.
  • Test Cricket By Jarrod Kimber: A history of the sport written by a great storyteller. Very digestable, the best book if youre a cricket fan.
  • Your face belongs to us: If you’re on lemmy you likely care about your privacy and need to know about this. This is the emd of privacy.
  • God, Human, Animal, Machine: It’s been the year of AI and this is a brilliant book to read with great history, philosophy and a personal touch. Very accessible too. (Discovered from the Ezra Klein podcast)
  • A dictionary of symbols by Juan Eduardo Cirlot: We all rely on symbolic expression, paeticularly in art. Reading emtries in this book as essays has improved the way I think about amd interpret art. It’s an incredible tool if you find symbology important.
  • The last Mughal by William Dalrymple: I cannot recommend this enough. One of the most readable history books ever and based on an incredible time period that isn’t talked about enough. Incredible individual stories. Really, it’s a must read imo.

These are the important recommendations, read a lot of short stories this year and intend to post them on !shortstories@literature.cafe

Some books I haven’t recommended since they weren’t interesting enough and some were already talked about more than enough.
