The most interesting list of articles that people have been reading in 2019...maybe!

I stumbled upon a Tweet from Shane Parrish of Farnam Street asking people for their favourite article they've read this year. The responses seem really interesting, varied and made me feel like there is so much I don't know. 🙈

I'm really (not so) sorry for adding more things to your reading list! 😂

I hope you enjoy and feel free to add more suggestions in the comments.
