Books I didn’t like

I read 4 other books that I didn’t like as much. I usually don’t mention them because I don’t like criticising books for being poor. I’ll make an exception for one of them - Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. This has been lauded universally for being an excellent book. I read it and found some factual errors. Later I come across articles that criticise Walker’s dishonesty in presenting experimental data (one, two). I fear people could read this book, become anxious that they’re not sleeping enough, and that anxiety could make them sleep worse. If you haven’t read this book, skip it.


Summary

Overall I started the year with 20 odd books on my reading list. I read 22 books in 2019. I ended the year with about 20 books on my reading list. The road goes ever on. 🙂
