The books I read in 2015
Below is a list of the books I managed to power through in 2015. While I’m certain I read more in 2015 than in any other year of my life, I think the vast majority of that reading was done outside of books. I’m hoping to change that in 2016. (If interested, here’s my entire list of books.)
