STOCKI'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR - 2018
31/12/2018
1. JENNY D WILLIAMS - ATLAS TO FORGOTTEN PLACES
Read this in north west Uganda, where much of it was set. It was easily my favourite book read ever. A real companion on the Stockies' Sabbatical adventure...
2. DAVID PARK - TRAVELLING IN A STRANGE LAND
I love David Park and this one had me thinking about fatherhood and self forgiveness as well as introducing me to good music...
3. MILKMAN - ANNA BURNS
Reading this one over new year, as I type. It can be dense and difficult to get into but I believe it to be an essential read for understanding my city, maybe every city. Profound stuff. Work at it and get in to it!
4. JENNIFER NANSUBUGA MAKUMBI - KINTU
Another Ugandan novel. An epic novel! Kintu scans the history of the country and takes you into cultural scenarios.
5. JUSTIN ZORADI - MADE FOR THESE TIMES
One of my former Interns landed this inspirational challenge to vocational fulfilment at a time when we all need to know what we are made for.
