Reading in the Time of Coronavirus

I hope you are all doing well despite these unsettling times during the coronavirus crisis. I wish you all good health. I also note that one source of strength, comfort, and inspiration during difficult times is reading. I am now working from home and “sheltering in place” per our local directives, and libraries and bookstores are closed, but I always have books at home, and I just ordered quite a few books online from two of my favorite local independent bookstores: Green Apple and Books, Inc. This is of course for my own benefit, but I also want to support independent bookstores, now more than ever. So I will continue reading, probably even more now that I can’t leave home (except for essential tasks), and I will continue posting on this blog. I hope you will continue reading as well, perhaps ordering a book or two from your local independent bookstores, and will receive the sustenance that reading can bring even in times of crisis.
