My reading list in 2021
2021 was the year I dove back into fantasy. I tore through the entire Inheritance Cycle, all four Paolini books back-to-back, and kicked off a re-read of The Wheel of Time, making it two books deep before the year ran out. Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan slid in nicely alongside.
Outside of that, the reading went in every direction: Bourdain’s kitchen chaos, Obama’s presidential memoir, Snowden’s whistleblowing confession, Asimov’s robot stories, a heist on the moon from Andy Weir, and Rework for some unusually opinionated business advice.
14 books out of a target of 25. Missed the number by a mile, but loved most of what I picked up.
