Perhaps I read more books in 2020 than any other year. All of those listed below are good, and worth reading again, except for those at the end, which were mainly a waste of time. The best ones? Probably The Great Divorce, which I have probably read a dozen times. One drop in a Sea of Blue gave me a new perspective on the life of soldiers in the Civil War and fighting both humans and the elements for four years. By What Authority is an excellent defense of the spiritual authority that God has bestowed upon the Catholic Church, and only the Catholic Church. It dives deep without losing the reader. The worst book I read was One Hundred Years of Solitude. It is a great example of how a poorly written book can achieve international acclaim when tapped by the hip intelligentsia.
