Ali

As a former Louisvillian, Muhammad Ali has always been a towering figure in my imagination. But as someone who doesn’t care about boxing, it took me over a year to work through Jonathan Eig’s nearly 23-hour audiobook, Ali: A Life. Just like Louise Glück’s collected poetry, it simply would not have been viable to have checked this title out, not without amassing an incredible overdue fine. Ali was the final book that I finished reading in 2024.
