As today is the last day of 2019, I'd like to take the opportunity to commemorate some of my favorite new1 things this year!
Books
Favorite fiction: "Station Eleven" for its captivating portrayal of the people and relationships surviving a global pandemic.
Favorite nonfiction: "The Second Mountain" for painting a picture of a meaningful life outside of the usual meritocratic/self-improvement lens.
Runner-up: "Cat's Cradle" for teaching me about granfalloons.
