Part Four:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy: It'll shake you up.

The Return by Rachel Harrison: The best, most effective horror novel I've read this year (I'm currently in the middle of The Only Good Indians which would be another solid contender).

Rusty Brown by Chris Ware: Ware brings plenty of his trademark alienation and heartbreak, but also some lovely and unexpected hope.

Part Two:

The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll: Any sysadmin would find it hard not to get swept up in this true story of a guy running across a Soviet hacker in his university computer system near the end of the Cold War.

The Hidden Girl by Ken Liu: Liu is my gold standard in terms of thoughtful, heartfelt contemporary sci-fi. These stories explore technology and social systems in mind-expanding ways.

Top Ten Books I Read in 2020 (in no particular order)

Part One:

The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley: Fast-paced and ecstatically gross space opera. The world-building is incredible, think Warhammer 40k by way of HR Giger.

Revenge by Yoko Ogawa: A fantastically unsettling collection of horror stories, which connect and interweave with each other in unexpected ways.

Well now I have to read Speaker for the Dead. As though I didn't have enough books to read.
