25. In his own words by Terry Pratchett
26. Go! India's Sporting Transformation

Book 26 has essays by Dravid, Gopichand and Bindra (amongst people you may know) and Joy Bhattacharjya (amongst people you should know). What more do you want? I'd also recommend the Harford book for the anecdotes on Fritz Haber, Diesel and Fleming (among others).

I really loved the Psychopath Test by Ronson.

Since 2019 was such a good year, it is hard for me to recommend a single book as almost all of the above were wonderful reads. You may notice that the Pratchett and the Adams books were the only works of fiction that I finished. 

How was your year in reading?
