Did the Pandemic Lead Casella to Read More Famous Books Than Usual in 20-21? No

Best: The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Worst: Doomsday Book. If you...are thinking... of reading this book... DON'T!!!
Worst writing: Darwin's Radio.
Worst Ending: In The Woods; I would have liked to hear the author's discussion with her editor.
Most Disappointing: Motherless Brooklyn
Most Pleasantly Surprised: The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.
Most Boring: The Decameron; tales of lecherous priests and unfaithful wives never get old - or do they?
GOAT Award: Jo Rowling; made me break my rule of 1 book per author per year.
Best Lines: "He looked so profoundly disappointed in me that I wondered for a moment if he was someone I knew" - from Wonder Boys;
'One delegate noted, "Dr. Koch isolated the tubercle bacilli: today science isolated Dr. Koch." ' - from The Great Influenza;
"Her face had been stone before he spoke, then it hardened. " -from A Feast for Crows
"Nothing ever looks emptier than an empty swimming pool." - from The Long Goodbye
