Last year: 2025, and doing this again this year.
Not so many books as the year before, sadly, but overall still a good haul of books I read this year:
| Title | Year | Author | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not a Speck of Light: Stories | 2024 | Laird Barron | good |
| The City and Its Uncertain Walls | 2023 | Haruki Murakami | great |
| The Wager | 2023 | David Grann | great |
| Babel | 2022 | R.F. Kuang | great |
| Zoo | 2003 | Otsuichi | good |
| All Systems Red | 2017 | Marta Wells | bad |
| Goth | 2002 | Otsuichi | good |
| Our Mathematical Universe | 2012 | Max Tegmark | good |
| Immaculate Conception | 2025 | Ling Ling Huang | great |
| Intermittent Living | 2023 | Siebe Hannosset | ok |
| De verovering van Belgie | 2025 | Wouter Verschelden | good |
| Wonder Drug | 2025 | Jennifer Vanderbes | great |
| Queen of All Mayhem | 2025 | Dane Huckelbridge | good |
| The Devils | 2025 | Joe Abercrombie | great |
Don’t read too much into the rating system, I’m using a generally bad-ok-good-great assignment (inspired by https://davidmytton.blog/reading/) but this is based mostly on subjective aspects.
Same as last year is a shift in genres as the year progresses. I am currently reading through Katabasis, so that will be the first book of next year.
