We are at the end of the year and the column on the books I have read is back, which has been going on since 2017, more or less unchanged. It's a way to have a complete picture of my readings and for some maybe an idea for future books to read. Best authors ever read known in 2020 Nothing new on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque: the First World War told by a German soldier. A classic of war fiction and an author I will reread. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: a modern classic on the reading list for some time. Beautiful story, beautiful narration, characters you won't forget. Point of No Return by Lee Child: I've had this novel for at least 2 years, but I decided to read it after seeing the film starring Tom Cruise (who however isn't the size of the Jack Reacher of the story...).
Pure action, lightning-fast style, sometimes hilarious Phone Number List dialogues (it's not a humorous novel, eh). The most read author This year the author whose works I read the most was Philip K. Dick , with 4 books read. Last year it was Stephen King, who has defended himself well in 2021 with 3 books read, together with Friedrich Nietzsche, Paul Auster and Álvaro Marcos. Jules Verne and Terry Brooks follow with 2. Best books read In addition to the 3 books mentioned, the list continues with: Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe: one of the most famous classics. Another book that I have had for many years and always put off reading. Too bad, I should have read this years ago. The Twilight Zone by Rod Serling: if there is one element that characterizes these stories of the impossible, it is the twist.
Unfortunately it is only a selection of all the author's stories. Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen by John Dos Passos: second novel in the USA trilogy that began with The 42nd Parallel and no less than this one. Dos Passos always reveals himself to be a unique and original author. Mr. Vertigo by Paul Auster: dense, as a story, the kind you will always remember. It might seem like a science fiction novel, yet Auster makes it seem like a simple success story. Sovereignty. The great challenge of our time by Valerio Benedetti: the most complete essay on sovereignism, which addresses it from every point of view. An immense job. Operation Barbarossa. June 21, 1941/November 18, 1942 by Paul Carell: A comprehensive document of Germany's invasion of Russia, an objective account told in the author's unmistakable style.
