Annual "stuff I liked this year" Thanksgiving thread. This year with less planning and polish, but as much sincerity as ever. The most stunning aesthetic experience of the year was Book 6 of _My Struggle_. The thousands of pages absolutely, absolutely pay off. [1/N]
For pure fiction, first place this year was _The Cider House Rules_. I have read as many novels by John Irving as I have by any other person. No way I have anything original to say about this book, but I did love it. [2/N]
_The Grapes of Wrath_ was good, too, but I'm an _East of Eden_ guy. Another classic I finally read this year was Benjamin Franklin's autobiography. Also good! What I remember the most is his talking about how a bunch of grown men once gathered to watch him swim. [3/N]
It was a form of entertainment. I mean, I'm sure he was a fine swimmer, but it's pretty tough now to imagine a world where (pre-famous) Ben Franklin swimming is the most exciting thing going on. [4/N]
I read @ByrneHobart and @matt_levine not quite every day, but lots of days, and they're a central and awesome and fun part of my information diet. Yay newsletters. I'll be surprised if @patio11's isn't on this list next year. [5/N]
Best (new) parenting book: _The Family Firm_. Not a surprise, but this is not a list of hot takes. Second place: _The Happy Sleeper_. [6/N]
Dithering has been the soundtrack to many happy morning workouts. Thanks, @benthompson and @gruber.
Test & Code is a new favorite podcast.
[7/N] (more to come later)
I'm not done with _A Swim in a Pond in the Rain_ yet, but boy is it great so far. [8/N]
I read lots and *lots* about software this year. Some great books, but also a lot of shorter stuff. Jimmy Koppel, @danluu, and @bernhardsson have all written a lot of eye-opening / huge-ROI stuff. [9/N]
Basically everything @AgnesCallard has written and every podcast she's done has been exciting and an instant favorite. The material on complaint is what comes to mind first.*
[10/N]
