2022 :: Favorite Book
Though I read quite a few books this year (not as many as I’d like), I only read one that was published in 2022:
Nina Simone’s Gum by Warren Ellis

2021 Year In Review :: Favorite Books
At the time of this writing, I read 41 books in 2021. Not quite a book a week, but still a good pace. This year I finished the novels of Haruki Murakami in chronological order and started re-reading Kurt Vonnegut’s novels in chronological order. I read a lot about grief and grieving but I only had a chance to read a couple of books published in 2021. But two of them really stood out to me.
One about chewing gum, the creative process and the fight for survival. The other about a father’s love for his son and the desire for connection and the fight for survival. I’m sensing a theme.
Nina Simone’s Gum by Warren Ellis
