As I mentioned in my previous post, 2020 was a good year for reading…

This year, I have read the following books… in approximate chronological order:

• Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg
• Dirty Havana Trilogy by Juan Pedro Gutierrez
• The Magus by John Fowles
• Oscar & Lucinda by Peter Carey
• Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
• East of Eden by John Steinbeck
• Option B by Sheryl Sandberg & Adam Grant

And now I’m reading the following in parallel:

• Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (I had started reading this before Option B, but stopped for a long time, and picking it up again over Christmas break)
• The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder

I’m typically a much more avid reader of fiction than non-fiction, and it has been many years since I’ve had the patience and mind space read literary fiction rather than pop or pulp fiction.

I guess it’s good for inspiration, or distraction…
