It has been an incredible year. I will not
recap all of the negatives that happened this year. Experiencing and
surviving a pandemic is enough. I don't think it would be possible for
anyone to possibly forget this year so i will simply celebrate the
good. To have achieved nothing other than staying alive this year, in
itself is an accomplishment. Along the way (i mean while locked at home
with my thoughts), i found companionship in books which i have listed
below that kept me going.
I planned to read a lot more books this year unfortunately life happened,
other things took priority (working two full time engineering jobs is
not a joke) but i was still able to get a few good books in during the
lock-down. I hope someone finds any of the books useful, as i did. There
is a little something in here for everyone.
It would be
impossible to select which books were my favorite but i tried to
categorise them by genre below. If you have read any of the books listed
above, please leave a comment and share.
