I finish a small minority of books I start and read a lot of anthologies so this sort of thing is out for me.

I can do a top 9 grid though.

storm of steel was a totally new perspective on war, like nothing i've read. horrifically gruesome description of trench warfare but junger's perspective was almost like.. he enjoyed it?

eumeswil was great too. very interesting ambiance in the desert, lots of hot takes re: living in the belly of the beast. must've had a lot of experience since from what i understand he was nationally revered but also disagreed with hitler on alot (obviously not publiclly) during ww2

>>21371538
And some more. A lot of it was art and picture books though. But what can I say.

This was the year I started reading :)

what was your favourite murakami, senpai?

>>21371685
nice, what did you think of the spartacus war?

>>21372114
of the ones i read this year, norwegian wood was probably my favourite though the murakamis I read last year I preferred, namely kafka on the shore (loved that one), hardboiled wonderland + end of the world and the rat trilogy

>>21371478
i went from like 1 book a year for a decade, then 6 books last year then 35 this year
we're all gonna make it

>Spartacus War
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Barry Strauss did an excellent job of encapsulating me into the world of Rome.
