I saw this in the grocery store today. With immediate flashbacks to the famed Durio, I had to try this new granola flavor. It’s sweet with a pleasant durian taste. This is too sweet for my taste—I don’t want much sugar with my grains, and this granola lists caramel as the second ingredient.

These are the books I finished reading, for the first time, in 2020. I’ve added a few notes about my favorites … It will be difficult to beat Hemingway, Hitler, and Bridge to the Gods.
