2020 in Books
--
A few less books this year, mainly due to a lack of commuting to and from work with the pandemic.
Some key highlights from this year include:
The Sovereign Individual — Although written before the turn of the Millennium, this book predicted many of the social, political, and technological changes that have come to pass in the first two decades of the twenty-first century.
The Alchemist — ”when you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”
Dark Emu — This book ought to be made compulsory reading for every Australian.
