Day 134

Thursday July 23, 2020 

It is another day in the year of the pandemic and as many others I have been given the gift of time to catch up on reading.  So today I thought I would create a list of books for the pandemic generation.

Some of these I have read or are in the process of reading or are on my to-read list (italicized). Others are mere suggestions in light of every thing going on in the world.
