I read fewer books this year (31) because I gave my time to full-time study and war. I would recommend 7.

Best Books of 2022

And only these 7 I should recommend for your consideration:

  1. Jared Diamond - Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (read twice);
  2. Jared Diamond - The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal;
  3. David Graeber - The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity;
  4. Giulio Boccaletti - Water: A Biography;
  5. Robert Sapolsky - Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst (I read it again after a few years);
  6. Merlin Sheldrake - Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures;
  7. James Baldwin - The Fire Next Time.
