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