Finished The Fixer by Bernard Malamud.
REally beautiful; really terrible. Maybe not the right book for this gloomy period, still it has to be read.

I don't know if you have kids at home being home-schooled as well, but whatever your circumstances, thanks for keeping the next generations engaged online!
