What books would you recommend during this time at home?

I’m not going to recommend any particular books here and use this as an opportunity to say what is happening right now isn’t a normal situation. This isn’t what general work from home life is like. We aren’t usually isolated to this degree and yes it is harder to work when you read the news continually. So my advice is read books that will make you feel comfortable and let you have some escapism for a few hours. Read books you’ve read before that you love.
