What’s on your 2026 reading list?

[Steven Donovan]

Working my way through "Men at War" compiled by Hemingway, an overlooked item of his. From the Bible, to Xenophon, to Churchill, to Kipling...from Caesar's invasion of Britain, the trenches of WWI, the German invasion of Sweden, the Alamo, etc. it is a remarkably broad and beautiful collection of writing on war and its nature selected by a literary great.

"Men at War" compiled by Hemingway - worth it

Just started 7 Pillars of Wisdom.

Yes - must read.

 

[Thomas Plunkett]

I'm working on Crime and Punishment right now, and I'd like to get around to Brothers Karamazov this year as well. Missed out on Dostoevsky thus far.

Aristotle's Ethics is on my desk, as is Hobbes' Leviathan. I'll get around to both soon, but I'm loving C&P at the moment.

I'm also reading Objects and Persons, a pretty interesting treatise on 'eliminativism.'

I'll be doing some flying this year, so lots of trashy airport thrillers will be on the list, not to mention as many Clancy novels as I can fit in a carry-on.
