My Year in Books: 2020
There was nothing methodical about my book selection this year. Sometimes it was what was available in the library. I read “You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine” after my library hold was delivered to the wrong location. “Life in a Putty Knife Factory” and “Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress” were swiped from a friend’s bedside stack. “Say Nothing,” and “Heavy,” were recommended by colleagues. “Crimes Against Logic” was sitting on my own bookshelf, shamefully unread, for years.
