Fortnightly Books Index 2020

 A bit of a chaotic year for my reading, as all my schedules were upended in one way or another, but I did get through Doyle's Sherlock Holmes works. It happened to be a fairly international year beyond that. I'm thinking for the upcoming year that I will do some more Dickens, although not his whole corpus, and some Scandinavian literature.
