My 2020 Read/Watched List

Following in the footsteps of Steven Soderbergh, for the last couple years I’ve been tracking and publishing everything I read and watch. I did it in in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if you missed them. I assume no one really cares about my list but I like keeping track of it and publishing it keeps me on it.

What is really interesting is you would have thought that with the pandemic I would have been watching a lot. But in fact, I found that I had less time to watch than I did before.

This past year, I saw 61 films, watched multiple episodes of 41 TV shows, plus football games (Go Seahawks!), and read 54 books. My movie consumption dropped but I watched more shows and read way more books than last year.

Anyway, here’s the key:

BOLD CAPS = MOVIE (at home or in theater)

CAPS = TV SHOWS (includes Netflix)

Lowercase Italicized = Books
