Ask HN: How many books have you read in 2026 so far and which was your favorite?
I've read five books so far this year.
1. The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris
2. Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris (a re-read)
3. Lying by Sam Harris
4. Misery by Stephen King (a re-read)
5. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
I'd probably pick The Road by Cormac McCarthy as my favorite so far. Probably behind my usual reading rate since I have been busy with foxography. I greatly enjoyed https://www.amazon.com/Great-Planning-Disasters-California-D... And the light novel for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backstabbed_in_a_Backwater_Dun... I’ve got a lot of books on daoism, animal tracking, character acting, physical cultivation and such that I am making slow progress on. I've read the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson which I loved for sure would recommend if you're into cool magic systems.
