Here’s my 2024 nonfiction reading journey—each book a new perspective, a deeper understanding.

A masterpiece in every sense—The Power Broker by Robert A. Caro is a massive volume, but every page grips you. An unparalleled look at power, politics, and the making (and breaking) of New York. Truly worth the time it demands!

Great book! Before Einstein revolutionized physics, there was Lucretius—an ancient thinker who saw the universe as atoms and void to be understood, not feared.

These two are epic historical novels. Both feature a strong and intelligent narrative infused with wit and philosophical reflection.

These two leave you wondering about the evil humans are capable of inflicting on others. They highlight the power of resilience and the enduring strength of human connections under difficult circumstances.

History has a way of repeating itself – Polk’s war and Bush’s invasion of Iraq, both sparked by shaky justifications, left lasting marks. Same playbook, different century.

I really enjoyed this book. It provides a comprehensive and personal account of modern Chinese history, juxtaposing Mao's China with contemporary China.⁦@ewong⁩

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading these two books. Suleyman's book presents a captivating vision of the future, while Isaacson's work provides a close and insightful examination of how Elon Musk is actively shaping that future @mustafasuleyman @WalterIsaacson
