Hi all

If you're self-isolating, or indeed just spending a lot more time at home now, what are you currently/planning on reading and why?

We're creating a page with recommendations so would love your help - whether you're doing any of the following (or something completely different):

-Seeking out time-appropriate dystopian reads (ie Station Eleven mentioned on this topic already)?
-Steering clear of that and plumping for escapism/light reads?
-Deciding it's time to tackle that 600-pager you've been putting off?

All the best, and happy reading Brew

@ritzbiscuits I’ve just listen to his dark materials on audible, I loved it. Quite jealous that you get to do it for the first time

Loved David Mitchell’s ‘The Bone Clocks’ too. Like Cloud atlas it was a bit confusing at times but he’s got an incredible imagination

Ooh yes, The Wool Trilogy is amazing.

i'm listening to Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb. She's a psychotherapist and it's about her life, her work, her clients' lives and is a good read if you are interested in that sort of thing. It was a NYTimes best seller.
