Good morning! I ate pie for breakfast. Welcome back to our daily open thread.
One of my first entries in this series was about books you were reading. I am ashamed to say that, months into the pandemic, my books list has only grown. Iâve found it really hard to concentrate on reading (as well as, letâs be honest, anything else). This is a bummer, because I have so many books to read: The contents for next yearâs Best American Food Writing were just announced, which reminded me I never finished last yearâs. I still havenât read a book about daily life in utopian communes I need to read for research. I had been saving last yearâs Pulitzer Prize-winning The Overstory for a trip I was supposed to take, but that trip has long been cancelled and I still havenât cracked the book. For shame, me!
What are you, uh, not reading? Howâs it going?
