23. Asimov's Nov/Dec 2020
The Nov/Dec issue of Asimov's got lost in my "to read" pile. Finally managed to find it again halfway through the year. Kind of weird reading Christmas stories in mid-summer.
24. Kurt Vonnegut "Slaughterhouse Five"
I had never read this "Slaughterhouse Five" before. It seems to show up on all the top 100 novels of the 20th century list. It didn't do all that much for me. I'd rather re-read Catch-22, it's more fun and sharper satire in my opinion.
25. Derick Lugo "The Unlikely Thru-Hiker"
Lugo has a different approach to the thru hiker story, focusing more on the people he met than on the trail, although he does relate different incidents along the way and some of the locations that stood out to him. The writing isn't award winning, but it's nice to see a trail book with a different emphasis than most. It's not a how to, or a inspirational, just one persons story.
