The more I learn, the more I realize that I know nothing. I’m ignorant. Thus began my journey to read fifty books in 2020.
I learned much, both in terms of knowledge and about myself, and I have much to write. I hope to do so soon. As for now I will simply leave you with the list of ninety books I finished. Yes, ninety! One of the few benefits of COVID was less travel, giving me more time at home and in the office, and allowing me to surpass my goal by a complete forty books, something I never thought possible.
