Time for the yearly roundup. Despite being rather busy with work, travel, family matters, and other worldly affairs, I managed to squeeze in quite a bit of reading regardless. As always, these are books that I finished in 2024, so I started reading the first few in late 2023, and there are a few I've started reading recently that will make it to next year's roundup (possibly next quarter; I keep meaning to do these more regularly, but I end up putting off my reflections too long). I did read a few other books this year, but looking at my past posts, it seems silly to include entries with just a short, perfunctory paragraph amounting to "no comment". So, for future posts of this kind, I am only including books I have comments for.
