This week’s article was inspired by a humorous tweet that went viral.

His tweet was liked 411,300 times, retweeted 67,200 times, and commented on 3,600 times. “Oh my goodness, this has gone bonkers,” he tweeted a day later. Bonkers indeed.

Great idea. With so many people being stuck indoors, it’s a great time to discover or re-discover the joy of reading.

Well, it worked in the nice summer weather, I think we are going to be stockpiling now until the Spring.
