What I loved reading in 2019

I had set a pretty low bar of 12 books, one per month, going into 2019. Even though the year was busy, it turned out to be not so hard to find time to read 2 or more books every month. I ended up finishing 30 books and about the same number were abandoned in the middle. Keeping aside some time during Friday and Saturday nights for reading and a pair of isolation headphones helped.

A list of all books I read can be seen in my GoodReads year in books.

A short list of the ones I loved are linked to my reviews below:

• Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
• The Devotion of Suspect X
• Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
• The Name of the Game is a Kidnapping
• 20th Century Boys (Vols 1-3): First two volumes were fantastic, lost interest in volume 3.
• Annihilation
• Racing the Beam
• Ready Player One
