Hi everyone!
Last year I didn't manage the 75 books. I only got through 49 with many more unfinished. I became a bit disillusioned with fiction, so this year I'll be focusing more on non-fiction books in the fields of mathematics, philosophy, psychology and economics as I'm working out my doctoral theses on the psychological evaluation of time as a resource. I will, most likely, be reading some fiction that has dwelt in TBR-space for a long time as well (William Faulkner, Cormac McCarthy, David Foster Wallace, Samuel Beckett, J. M. Coetzee, Haruki Murakami, etc.).
January:
1. The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century* by Steven Pinker
2. Calculus Made Easy* by Silvanus Phillips Thompson
3. Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks
4. What I Talk About When I Talk About Running* by Haruki Murakami
*- marks books from my TBR pile from before 2015
**- reread
