For many years, I’ve enjoyed reading the posts of several bloggers who are trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks. I’ve also wanted to find a good way for me to keep track of the books I’ve read. And it gives me a good reading target to shoot for.



Last year, I read 80 books, exceeding my goal by quite a bit. Or, more accurately, I listed 80 books that I read. I don’t list books that might reveal certain things I might (or might not) be working on.



In the previous year, the total number was 68.



I again found that I was starting and abandoning quite a few books. And I’m reading more audiobooks than ever before



You will also notice that I’ve been attempting to read the entire catalog of books of certain authors of detective stories. If you forced me to pick my top books for 2022 (in alphabetical order) that I’d recommend, I’d probably list:



Advice for Future Corpses , Sallie Tisdale



Arriving Today, Christopher Mims



Butler to the World, Oliver Bullough



Hiding in Plain Sight, Sarah Kendzior



Origin, Jennifer Raff



Pretty Good House, Dan Kolbert



River of Gods, Candice Millard



Termination Shock, Neal Stephenson



The Genesis Machine, Amy Webb



The March of Folly, Barbara Tuchman



The Wizard and the Prophet, Charles C. Mann



Work Clean, Dan Charnas



I’m doing the same thing in 2023. My approach is the same as in previous years – I’ll simply update this post from time to time from time to time throughout the year as I finish books.



I’ve enjoyed doing this challenge every year and hope you find the list useful. And I encourage you to take the challenge yourself.



I welcome your recommendations of good books I might read this year.



As Bill Taylor says, “Are you learning as fast as the world is changing?” 



Challenging yourself to read 52 books is probably a good way to start to answer that question.
