2017 in The Books

At the end of every year, I compile all the books I read in twelve months into a year-end reading list. Here are ones from 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. This year I didn’t even come close to reaching my reading goal. However, the books I did manage to complete were enjoyable and I learned a lot from them. Out of all the titles, I read, I can only give a few the title of “favorite” in 2017.

Top 3 Books of 2017

  1. American War by Omar El Akaad
  2. Lead Yourself First by Mike Erwin and Ray Kethledge
  3. The Causes of War by Geoffrey Blainey
