The Best Books I Read in 2020

I read 68 books this year (and counting). Of those, 10 works stand out in my mind as being particularly great reads. These are the books that stayed with me, made me think back on them long after I’d finished them. They are the books I’m telling my friends about.

Here they are, in no particular order and with no regard to publication date. The best books I read in 2020:
