What have people been reading during COVID?

We’ve officially lost more than a year to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. On top of the spread of this deadly disease, it’s been the year of the George Floyd uprisings, antifa and anarchists, fascists and white supremacists, censorship, insurrection, billionaire wealth-grabs measured in lives lost, inspiring union gains, and so much more.

For many this year has provided even more stark illumination of the exploitative foundations of our capitalistic system.

With that illumination many people have sought to learn more about what’s going on and how we got here.

We present- in reverse order- our most popular titles during COVID (so far*).

“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel… is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”

Ursula K. LeGuin
