Books I've read this year and am currently reading (2024)

[ThomasTLM]

This thread's purpose is threefold:

• To keep myself accountable for reading these books
• To encourage myself to read more
• To review the books I've read so that the person reading this thread right now can get an opinion on each book, and maybe save them some time if the book was for crap.

---

Books I've read so far in 2024:

1. Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis
2. The Millionaire Fastlane , by the man himself lol

Books I am currently reading

1. The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien
2. Unscripted , M.J. DeMarco
3. TGRRE , M.J. DeMarco
4. Speechless, Michael Knowles
5. The 4-Hour Workweek, Timothy Ferriss
6. Million Dollar Weekend, Noah Kagan
7. Your Next Five Moves, Patrick Bet-David
8. The Once and Future Roman Rite, Peter Kwasniewski

See my reviews of each finished book below.
(I won't be writing a review of M.J.'s books. If you are here on this forum, I shouldn't need to convince you. But obviously I thought TMF was great because here I am.)

Godspeed
