Books to Read this Year (2022)

| 177 words

At the start of 2022, I made a pact to myself to read 1 book a month and will update this periodically as I finish them. I do like Holden Karnofsky’s cold take for Honesty about Reading. as there is just too much to read in what little time we have on this planet. In my own writing, I will do my best to write up “a TL;DR on what I’m arguing, what the main evidence is, why it matters, and what my responses to key objections are.”
