My favorite books of 2020
Read 38 books in 2020. The shortest book was “Lying” by Sam Harris, the longest “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” by J.K. Rowling.
Here are my top 4 (why 4? there were other good books, but the books below are simply amazing):
-
The Way to Love by Anthony de Mello
I love deprogramming. I loved this book.
-
Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It by Kamal Ravikant
I was a little bit sceptical at first, but since the book is only 68 pages, I decided to give it a go. The message is very clear, yet powerful for ones at the bottom. I definitely felt Kamal’s pain and happy that he came through. Been following him ever since (he has a podcast and a few other books).
-
Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons
Recalling how much I loved the first book back in 2018, I’ve decided to finish the whole series. Totally worth it.
-
Before this, I’ve only watched Harry Potter movies, but haven’t read the actual series. My intention was to read something accessible in English (note: I still find some fiction hard to read). It was a good match. The books are very easy to read. I also found them incredibly enjoyable. Sometimes it was almost impossible to stop reading. I often felt a sense of presence, which is a rare feeling!
You can find all the other books as well as some statistics on Goodreads.
