This week, my brother Andrew joins me to talk about our favorite books we read in 2023. The two of us use the six questions below to guide our discussion and take a few detours along the way to explore different aspects of reading (including how we get oriented when we start reading a new book in a markedly different style than what we just read). 

1. What is the most ambitious book you read this year?
2. Which book surprised you the most?
3. What was your personal favorite?
4. Which book impacted your life the most?
5. What's one book that made you cry?
6. Which book had the best prose?

How would YOU answer these six questions for 2023?
