Bursts of Color - Best Books of 2020

It's that time of year when Best Of lists for everything appear, so I'm giving it a shot too. Here are the 10 best books I read this year, though some were written long ago. Note that some are fun reads and others less so... "best" here just means those books that made me think and stuck with me longest after reading.

---

Fiction

• Afterland

• American Dirt

• East of Eden

• The Topeka School

• Wolf Hall

Non-Fiction

• Talking to Strangers

• The New Jim Crow

• The Ride of a Lifetime

• The Running Revolution

• Why We Sleep

Other, More Prestigious, Book Lists

• Oprah: 20 Best Books of 2020

• Bill Gates: 5 Summer Books (winter list likely soon)

Happy reading. And as always, I look forward to any recommendations from your Best Of ___ list.
