Reading in 2022

This was a year in which I obsessively read history, and so I begin with the books that I really enjoyed. 

India in the Persianate Age: 1000–1765 - Richard M. Eaton

Lords of the Deccan:Southern India from Chalukyas to Cholas: Southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas

Energy: A Human History - Richard Rhodes

For almost all of childhood, Cubbon park, the green space adjoining our school, was a big part of growing up. This book below was a short read about the fascinating history of the park and the role it has come to play in the city 

Cubbon Park: The Green Heart of Bengaluru - Roopa Pai

I also ended up reading two remarkable memoirs that made a deep impression. 

Educated - Tara Westover
When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanithi

Early on in the year I started managing the design process at work and I realised that I needed to spend some time formally acquainting myself with the vocabulary. This was a good start. 
Don't Make Me Think, Revisited - Steve Krug 

I read three works of fiction but none made a lasting impression. 

Elena Knows - Claudia Piñeiro

Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

Heaven - Mieko Kawakami

This tome took me a while to finish, but it was a fascinating window into how seriously Dr. Ambedkar took his whole exploration into Buddhism. 

The Buddha & His Dhamma - Dr. B.R Ambedkar

And finally, some of the other miscellaneous reading I managed to finish. 
Consolations - David Whyte
Biology of Belief - Bruce H. Lipton
The Devil in the White City - Erik Larson

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty - Patrick Radden Keefe
Parliament of Whores - P.J. O'Rourke
Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe - Steven Strogatz
