As you can probably tell from the lack of posts, blogging was not my priority this past year!

Between my new job and my personal life, I didn’t get to do too much programming in my spare time. I did, however, make time for more reading. Rather than trying to provide a review or score, I’ll simply annotate books I especially enjoyed with a `*`.

I know you all waited with baited breath, so here it is, the short (but slightly longer) list of books I read in 2024!

  1. * Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty

  3. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
  4. * Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
  5. * Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
  6. * Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
  7. Replay by Ken Grimwood
