More than anything else, I read to make myself think. Maybe I’m thinking about a point of view I have not explored much, maybe I’m thinking about a struggle that I am facing or I’m helping someone else face, maybe I’m thinking about how lessons from the past can be helpful in the present, maybe I’m just thinking about one of my favorite topics and trying to get a deeper understanding. In any case, thinking is good. And maybe it will catch on if I talk about reading enough. It’s worth a try anyway. So these are the 10 books that made me think the most in the latter half of 2024.

 The list includes: 
The Cow in the Parking Lot, by Leonard Scheff and Susan Edmiston
David and Goliath, by Malcolm Gladwell
Memoirs of Hadrian, by Marguerite Yourcenar
Life and tragic death of Jesse James (anonymous)
And Then There's This, by Bill Wasik
A Simple Plan, by Scott Smith
How to Suffer … in 10 Easy Steps, by William Arntz
The Earth Dwellers, by Erich Hoyt
Moll Flanders, by Daniel Defoe
The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce
