The Best Books I Read in 2023

The Best Books I Read in 2023

Dennis D. McDonald

By Dennis D. McDonald

Maybe I should have titled this, “The Best Books I Read, Finished, and Reviewed” in 2023. I did abandon several books due to lost interest, and several of these took much longer to read than usual. I also suspect that Tom Hanks’ THE MAKING OF ANOTHER MOTION PICTURE MASTERPIECE would have made this list had I finished it An in 2023. Ayway, I’ll try to read, finish, and review more in 2024!
