Okay, yeah, we may actually be closer to 2022 than 2020, but when do the Smug Book Club boys let tradition stand in the way of a good time?
No, that's not a rhetorical question: WHEN? ANSWER US, WHEN?!?! (Spoiler: never).
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter when we released this episode, because books are nearly always good. And damn, do we have some good recommendations for you.
So, in no particular order, here's a list of the 6 best books we read in 2020:
- Moonglow, by Michael Chabon
- The Living Mountain, by Nan Shepherd
- Pond, by Claire Louise-Bennet
- Salt Slow, by Julia Armfield
- Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy
- At Night All Blood Is Black, by David Diop, translated by Anna Moschovakis
We tried to keep all mentions of the books spoiler-free, but of course some little tidbits may have snuck out. What can you do?!?!
Anyway, enjoy the episode — and we'll catch you all soon.
