On Deck:
I didn't get to read as much this year AND I didn't record the first 2/3rds of the year...
Best book: Morning and Evening - It's translated from Norwegian and has no punctuation. Challenging, but incredible story about what happens after death.
Best book: Solito: A Memoir - Like American Dirt, but this is the authors actual lived experience. Great writing and story telling. When he leaves his home in El Salvador as a young child he expresses love for his home and how much he'll miss his friends and family. I appreciate that his story doesn't demonize his home or really speak to why he's traveling to the U.S. except that he'll be joining his parents. It focuses instead on the story of his journey and the experiences, challenges, and support he gets from strangers along the way.
