Here's my list from 2023 (mostly history with some mythology):

* Lost Continents by L. Sprague de Camp (1954)

* Slouching Towards Utopia by J. Bradford DeLong (2022)

* The Rise of Universities by Charles Homer Haskins (1923)

* Colonial New England on 5 Shillings a Day by Bill Scheller (2010)

* The Book of Yōkai by Michael Foster (2015)

See here for some notes I wrote about these books: https://bcmullins.github.io/interesting-books-2023/

I find that I am usually one year off when reading new books. I was really excited about Slouching Towards Utopia but didn't get to it until last Spring (though it came out in early Fall 2022).
