  Mark’s Best of 2024

  This is my list of all of my favorite things that I experienced in 2024.

  Best Fiction Book

  This year a read slightly fewer books than the previous year, roughly 50, completing ~90% of these. In the past few years, I’ve switched to mainly fiction and poetry, whereas prior to 2022 I almost exclusively read non-fiction. This is the first year I’ve decided to split the category into these two genres.

• Short Halloween reads - October 30, 2024

  Each year, I like to read a classic horror story for Halloween. Since it’s a bit late to commit to a full novel, I thought I’d recommend some short horror reads.

  The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson

  This story is quite good, though it’s a bit ruined by being everywhere in popular culture. The writing is compelling and the plot is unsettling. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is such an essential part of the zeitgeist, I think this is a must-read. While I recognize Treasure Island as another classic by Stevenson, I do not find it nearly as interesting as Dr. Jekyll.
