Books, 2020
Oct. 18th, 2020 09:33 pmIt is time again to tally all the books I read during this trip around the sun. This year's total is 47 books--not a stellar year I guess, but in fairness there is a g*ddamn pandemic going on and that has a tendency to Distract. One re-read denoted by an asterisk.
As always, happy to answer questions about any of the titles.
