We have just about arrived at the end of another year\u2014a year in which I did quite a lot of reading across a variety of subjects. Today I want to offer my picks for the top 10 books of 2020. I have put them in some semblance of order with my first pick at the top and the rest in roughly descending order. In each case I\u2019ve included a short description drawn from my full-length review. I guess you’ll see as you browse through the list that my focus this year was on contemporary issues\u2026 (Also, I know I included 11 books in this top 10; I just couldn’t choose which one to eliminate.)<\/p>\n

While it is full of meaning today, it would have been void of meaning back then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have just about arrived at the end of another year\u2014a year in which I did quite a lot of reading across a variety of subjects.
