Annual Top Ten Reads

 

 Annual Top Ten Favorites



Since January 1, 2025, these books have been my favorite reads, and sometimes rereads.  They span a wide range of reading genres, from nonfiction to fiction, from lengthy to short works, and from the classics to modern literary fiction. I would recommend them to one and all.

The list is in no particular order, but if I had to pick my favorite of the year, it would be Orlando by Virginia Woolf.


Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad


And There Was Light by Jon Meacham


Knife by Salman Rushdie


Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal 


Orlando by Virginia Woolf 


Praise of Folly by Erasmus


The Immense Journey by Loren Eiseley 


Arturo's Island by Elsa Morante


2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke


 Playground by Richard Powers
