2020 was a challenging year. With majority of the global population locked up indoors, bibliophiles couldn't help but seek refuge in the world of books to escape the tough times. As they say, tough times don't last - tough people do. And since 2020 qualifies as tough times, as Bill Gates says in his blog post, there's no better time to read a book than now.
In a no-holds-barred blog post, Gates wrote that there were times when he wanted to dwelve deeper into social issues like Black Lives Matter protests which took the centerstage this year but there were days when he needed a 'change of pace' and read something lighter.
