I thought books were important before the pandemic, but now they’re a lifeline. Some books I’ve read recently: The Burgess Boys and My Name Is Lucy Barton, by Elizabeth Strout, All These Little Worlds (stories from The Fiction Desk), Real Life, by Brandon Taylor, Truth and Beauty and This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage, by Ann Patchett, A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility, by Amor Towles, and A Good Hard Look, by Ann Napolitano.
