Steven Soderbergh’s Year in Reading


Every January on his website Extension765.com, the prolific director Steven Soderbergh looks back at the previous year and posts a day-by-day account of every movie and TV series watched, every play attended and every book read. In 2023, Soderbergh tackled more than 80 (!) books, and on this week’s episode, he and the host Gilbert Cruz talk about some of his highlights.

Here are the books discussed on this week’s episode:

  • “How to Live: A Life of Montaigne,” by Sarah Bakewell

  • “Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining,’” by Lee Unkrich and J.W. Rinzler

  • “Cocktails with George and Martha,” by Philip Gefter

  • The work of Donald E. Westlake

  • “Americanah,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

  • “Pictures From an Institution,” by Randall Jarrell

  • “Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will,” by Robert M. Sapolsky

We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review’s podcast in general. You can send them to books@nytimes.com.
