Welcome! [Read Me]

<aside> 🚢 This is the Best Books section of The Dickie’s Digest Best Of 2024 Curation.

I originally wanted to create a list of my personal favorite things of 2024—books, podcasts, purchases, habits, lessons, places I visited, etc.

But I thought it would be more fun (and valuable) instead to curate the best recommendations of a wide variety of people, rather than just me.

So below you’ll find links to the 50 most popular book recommendations I received after polling roughly 408,000 people on X.

Plenty here to keep you learning & listening through the holidays and into 2025!

If you enjoyed these, check out some of the links to the right to share them with a friend or with your audience. And if you have recommendations that I should add, DM me on Twitter and I’ll add it to the list!

**And you can also download this entire list as a Google Sheet here!**
