Quick Retro! My 120 Book “reads” in 2024 & 𝐌𝐲 20 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬: Top 15 on Non-Fiction & Top 5 on Eng/Mgmt.
Yes, that’s a big number… but, don’t be surprised by that. I count any book where I’ve made at least one Kindle highlight or note, even if I only read/re-read a snippet or didn’t finish. Finishing is optional on my books! I know, it’s not a perfect system, but I’ve been at least tracking it consistently year-over-year! Thanks to @readwise!
Big differences from 2023:
- My technical reading (Software Engineering & Management) shifted heavily to articles. I only read 8 tech books this year (3 on GenAI!).
- Many old favorites returned (e.g., 7 Habits, Turn the Ship Around!), but I’m only listing new appearances for my Top 20 in 2024.
- I dipped into some biographies and non-“non-fiction” (still not fully into fiction yet, but baby steps).
Here is My Top 2️⃣0️⃣ for 2024:

Full disclosure: Putting this list together took me a couple of hours of skimming highlights and reflecting on my notes to see what of those ideas really impacted me the most this year. If this helps you discover your next read, I’d appreciate a quick comment or share—let’s spread good recommendations!
