![]() Likewise, the New York Times’ The Case of Jane Doe Ponytail was a heartbreaking profile of an NYC erotic masseuse’s tragic death, diving into both the sex work industry as it exists today, and the (possibly shady) circumstances surrounding her untimely end. When it comes to long-form journalism, there’s one story from The Atlantic that’s still on my mind: Why Are Young People Having So Little Sex? I don’t know why the article hit me like a gut punch, but it did. They even made an oral history of Mary-Kate and Ashley’s “Gimme Pizza” this year, which either sounds amazing to you, or seems odd. Likewise, the Oral History of ‘Too Many Cooks’ was a fun read, but feel free to skip it of the original video wasn’t really your thing. Not all of them are worth reading, but I certainly had fun with the Oral History of the Double Dare Obstacle Course. ![]() It was a little overwhelming, given the sheer length of the average oral history article. This seemed to be the year of the Oral History. Pick it up if you haven’t yet, because they’re releasing a movie remake next year. I also really enjoyed Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, which I hadn’t read until this year. It was interesting to finally take the time to get into his head a little bit, if only because most of his public behavior has had me absolutely baffled. I found myself often agreeing with his premises, but strongly disagreeing with the conclusions he draws. Both tell incredible true stories with a gripping narrative that reads like fiction.Īfter reading Conspiracy by Ryan Holiday (about the fall of Gawker at the hands of Peter Thiel) I decided to pick up Thiel’s Zero to One. The top two books I read this year would probably be Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and The Island at the Center of the World by Russell Shorto. According to my Goodreads account, I read 5,735 pages across 15 books, although that doesn’t take into account a few books that I started and never finished.

But I also wrote a full-length play with my wife this year, so I’m not feeling that bad about my level of consumption. This article documents a year’s worth of consumption. I’m going all-in with recommendations this year, rather than releasing another boring post listing stuff I’ve created, sharing stats, and setting goals. I’m doing something a little bit different this year for my year-end wrap up post.
