I read about 20% of the titles I wanted to
I can relate. My goal for this year was to read 75 books, and I think I'm at 33 or 34 right now. The main one that has stood out to me so far was The Universe Speaks In Numbers by Graham Farmelo. Explaining why this book stood out to me would take a lot of words, and I plan to write a blog post on it at some point. But briefly, it comes down to it getting me excited about math again.
And as something of a counter-point to that book, I also read Lost in Math by Sabine Hossenfelder, which was also very good.
Others that were definitely worth reading:
Analogy Making As Perception by Melanie Mitchell
Society of Mind by Marvin Minsky (re-read)
Engineering General Intelligence, Part 1 by Ben Goertzel
The AGI Revolution by Ben Goertzel
And on a lighter note, some fun - if bizarre - cyberpunk styled novels I read were Necrotech and Nanoshock by K.C. Alexander.
