Books I Read in 2025

Another year has gone by. It’s cliché, but time flies. The older I get, the faster it goes. This post marks my 10th year of posting the books I read. That’s a long run! To celebrate, I created a new page on my website that houses all the books I’ve read throughout the years. You can access that page here, or you can navigate using the menu -> Book Lists -> Books I’ve Read.

The page is designed to highlight the top reads by year, but you can also filter and jump to the year’s full reading list as well.

I hope you enjoy browsing the list. It’s always fun for me to look back at the year’s reading and reflect on which I thought were best.

As I normally do, here are a few notes before you start browsing:

• The list isn’t in any ranking.

• My reading is a bit eclectic, as I think everyone’s should be. You’ll find works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and theology. You’ll find different thinkers and influences. It’s the way I like to read.

• “Top Read” indicates the books I enjoyed the most. It doesn’t include re-reads, and some classics I read for the first time don’t make it. If they’re a classic, they should probably be on the list, but whatever. I reserve the right to like what I like, just as you do.

• If you have some book recommendations for me this year, leave a comment. I’m always on the lookout for a good read.

• All the links are Amazon affiliate links, so if you buy it from that link, I get some money from the purchase.

Now, on to the list!
