This year has been quite tough; I read very little, at least non-technical books, as I was taking a course, which occupied much of my free time. It was an atypical year, but productive in that regard.
Despite that, I managed to read a few but good books, with Barack Obama’s ‘A Promised Land’ being a standout. I’ve always admired him greatly, and I received this book as a Christmas gift. It’s quite interesting for those who like politics but can be quite tedious for those who don’t.
Amidst some boring stories about his experiences during campaigns and his time as President, there are two particularly interesting ones: the moments before and immediately after the capture of Osama Bin Laden, and the state visit to Russia and the corresponding meeting with Putin.
He also writes about moments from his private life, but politics undoubtedly occupies about 75 to 80% of this book, It is a political biography of Obama.
I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading biographies, especially to those who admire Barack Obama.”
“I wish you all good readings in 2024.”
