What I Read in 2020

List of books read in 2020

At the outset I am under the assumption that I read fewer books in 2020 than I did in 2019. There are a few reasons for those, one of which might be the affect of the Covid-19 pandemic. Another is probably a result of taking two university courses from late August to early December. This was a significant amount of reading on a weekly basis.
I am of the mind to include the chapters and excerpts that I read if they come out of a noteworthy book or title. In that case I will include a link to the book.

I have not looked at the data so at this point, so I can’t tell what the majority of the books were, though I assume that like 2019 the majority were fiction books.
it is my hope that like 2019 I read more female authors than male, but again I cannot tell (or remember) at this point.
