For many of us, isolated in our homes, this can be an unexpectedly solitary time. Collectively, we must rely on elemental sources of comfort—the essential aspects of our humanity. We take sustenance in good food. We seek for connections with the people who matter most to us. We seize moments of joy and playfulness. We find purpose and meaning where we can. And, of course, we enjoy good books.
