My Top 10 Reads of 2021
I read a lot of books this year, these were my favorites
I challenged myself at the start of 2021 to read at least 100 books for the year. This past week, I crossed the threshold and achieved my goal. It wasn’t exactly easy to get there, but I’m happy I did it.
I got through many books that had been on my list most of my life, and I read some others that I may have never thought about myself, but were suggested by friends. Those who have been keeping up with my poetry at all, you know that this project was the catalyst for my new book Canon Fodder, which just released on Amazon.
For the most part, I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve read this year, though there were certainly some duds. When it comes to art, I’m fairly easy to please. I thought it would be worthwhile to compile a list of my favorites that I read this year, in case anyone was interested.
So without further delay, here are my ranked top ten books that I read for 2021:
1. Underworld by Don DeLillo
I’ve read quite a lot of great novels over the past year and a half. This one bests them all…
