The Books I Read in 2016

December 29, 2016 · David McLemore

I love books. If you've been to my house, you know that. I have them everywhere. Recently, the stack next to my chair got so tall that my wife feared for the children's safety. Three weeks later, I finally put them away on the shelves. There are currently only two books there now, but it'll grow again.

2016 was a fun year of reading for me. The year isn't quite over yet, but so far I've read 107 books. I suppose I'll finish one more before the ball drops.

I also happen to love lists, especially lists of books. The end of the year is special for me, in part, because everyone reviews the best books of the year. Then I add them all to my Amazon wish list.

So, without further ado, here is my list of the best books I read in 2016. Just a note, not all of these were published in 2016, that's just when I got around to read them. I also did not include books I had previously read (e.g. The Great Gatsby, and Between the World and Me - easily two of the best books I've ever read.) These are also not in any particular order.

Also, I've included the full list of what I read in 2016 below.
