Here we are, 2018. Do you remember where you were for the millennium? I was working in the San Francisco County Jail booking facility. They made us all work 12-hour-shifts that night, expecting a ton of drunks, but they had set up "drunk stations" in several places around the city, so we twiddled our thumbs for 12 hours. Never imagined that i would still be here 18 years later...
Anyhow, thought I'd share my favorite books from this past year with you. none of them are new.
