My Substack Summer
What I read in Summer 2024
Substack has kindly provided this summary for me. It highlights a couple of publications that I have been reading almost from the day they started. But there are many more Substacks that I read regularly and look forward to seeing in my inbox. I will try to comment a bit more in the future.
I read 22 books (some only partially), which are not listed here, including The Way of Nagomi and Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth. If this seems like a lot, remember that I am a retired editor who can read at a good speed. And it was a very rainy summer.
