This year was anything but normal. In the beginning, I had no idea how the next 12 months would play out the way that they did, and books are one of the things that helped me get through this year.

I don’t think there has been a better year than 2020 to read. With most of us confined to our homes at some point during the year due to pandemic, books (and Netflix!) have become more popular than ever.

Yes, I admit that I sort of dropped the ball on reading. What was more surprising is that all this while I almost did nothing to correct it. Fortunately sanity prevailed and my wife who herself is a voracious reader and a writer (though her first masterpiece is still in making) help me remind about all the good things I am missing by not reading.

This blog is share reviews of whatever little I’ve read and learn from your thoughts.
