Other books that I read and enjoyed in 2019: * We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families (Gourevitch, Philip) : Excellent book about the Rwandan genocide, and the aftermath * The Fat Years (Koonchung, Chan): Sometime after the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, China becomes the dominant world superpower following the collapse of the Western economies. But there seems to be a collective amnesia in China. People don't seem to remember what happened during some crucial months. Only a handful seem to be immune from this amnesia. * A Fish Caught in Time: The Search for the Coelacanth (Weinberg, Samantha) : The story of the discovery of the Coelacanth.
