I read 33 books in 2020.
My favorite non fiction was We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer it is about Climate Change and what the individual can do about it. It is slightly poetic and surreal which I like in non fiction books. Runner up was The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution by Richard Dawkins. He is a really good writer and knows evolution really well.
My favorite fiction was Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. I love his awful protagonists. On that note Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan is probably the book I would recommend that you might actually read. Pretty unpleasant, as in believable, characters, great dialog. And a quick fun read.
I love detective books. Classic stuff without autopsies and graphic murders. And I never get who did it. The best I read this year was The Inugami Curse by Seishi Yokomizo. If you know of any good classic crime fiction translated into English please let me know in the comments.
