179. Syllabus Design by David Nunan, November 5, 2019
Notes:
* I'm not going to choose bests and worsts. I - did- that - already for my 10 years of book reviewing anniversary, and I'm worried the list would have too much overlap.
* Wow, time flies as you get older, huh? Many of those books from 2010 I feel like were just recently read. 10 years already? Like those Flashman books for instance. I feel like this is something I only just recently discovered, but I started reading them back in 2010.
* Some good reading years and some bad reading years in this list, but it averages out to about a book and a half per month. Which is about right. I've always been a slow reader, so a book a month is pretty much my average.
