Last June for some reason I listed the 20 books that I enjoyed most over the last year ... I intended to offer my new list of 20 for this past year on the one year anniversary of that posting ... but like Mr Lennon said - "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans ..."So, a few days AFTER the one year anniversary, I offer the following list of 20 books that I have read and enjoyed over the last year ... For interest sake - my reading has slowed considerably of late ... I managed to read only 65 books in the last year ... but looking back - my life has been filled with a myriad of other things that pushed reading to the side ... for now though - my list:

Anger by Thich Nhat Hanh
Deafening by Frances Itani
