Readers of Books

Via Giphy

Welcome to the March Quarantine edition of Readers of Books. Please share what reading material you have acquired, read, abandoned, and/or recommend.  Don't read?  That's okay too.

So here we are.  Most of us are under some sort of stay-at-home order and will be for the foreseeable future. It seems like a good time to pick up a book and do some old-fashioned literary escapism. What are you reading now? What do you recommend as a good quarantine read?
