These are the books I read in 2019. And I still read the comics every day. There were some big ones this year. Stephenson's Fall/Dodge in Hell was a good one. Murakami's Killing Commendatore" was another mystical book by him. I was introduced to Octavia Butler, a science fiction writer from my home town of Pasadena, but who I didn't know. The Overstory was a strong work - many stories and a philosophy. I did get through 1/2 of Zuboff's "Surveillance Capitalism," which I really like, but which the library reclaimed. And I continue to study books on Chen Style Taiji.
