Now that 2024 is behind us, it’s time for a six-month reading check-in! My brother Andrew is back and we each discuss six books that affected us during the second half of 2024. We use the following questions as a guide: 

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

Our selections include books from the following genres: fantasy, science-fiction, religion/spirituality, poetry, graphic novels, history, and literary fiction.
