The Books of 2022

I didn't read as much this year as I have in past years, but I did average about 1.2 books/week. These are the ones I enjoyed and/or learned from the most.

As always, these are the books that I enjoyed in 2022, not books that were published in 2022 (except for one, or maybe two, but you get my point).
