I collected over 10 lists of the Best Books of 2023 from the Internet, newspapers and magazines and combined them into one meta-list.  Here are the results, every book on at least three of the original source lists, organized by rank (that is, with the books on the most lists at the top).

NOTE: These are not my personal opinions and I have not read all these books.
