The year in books: 20 to recommend in 2020

This year I finished 47 books, up from last year but not a personal best. The breakdown was 17 non-fiction and 30 fiction. Another 20-30 remain started but unfinished this year.

Non-fiction

The 8 non-fiction books I most recommend are:

The 3 books I recommend you not to waste time on are: "The Two Koreas", "The Price of Inequality", and "Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside Shipping".

The whole list

Fiction

The 12 fiction books I most recommend are:

The only book I really didn't like was "Invisible Cities".
