I really really need Paige Lewis's book "Space struck." This book gives language to the overwhelming anxiety I'm feeling

I really need poetry right now like Nicole C Lee's beautiful book "Ordinary Beast."

A novel I reread to ease my anxiety "I Am Still Alive" by Kate Alice Marshall, which is a survival story in which a girl has to survive alone in like the Arctic wilderness.

In hard times I often return to old favorites. I've recently reread both "Sula" and "The General in His Labyrinth" both of which get better every time I read them.

Another non-fiction book I've loved in these times "The Cholera Years" an analysis of the 19th century cholera of pandemics in New York City. The book is almost 60 years old, but it shows how 1832 and 2020 are not so different. At least when it comes to snake oil cures, and conspiracy theories, and blaming the victim for the disease - instead of the structural and political failures that allowed the disease to spread.

Lulu Miller's stunning and brilliant and completely unsumupable "Why Fish Don't Exist". I love this book so much.
