Ask HN: What books are you reading during self isolation?

3 points by softwaredoug ↗ HN
It's time to stockpile books for the possibly long Covid-19 slog.

I just finished reading Ron Chernow's US Grant Bio, I can recommend it as long, engaging, and very poignant (esp for Americans). I'm going to read his Washington bio next, should take me a good month :)

What are you reading during this potentially long period of isolation at home?

The French translation of Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities, a unfinished German novel that takes place in Vienna about one year before the outbreak of World War I. The narrative occasions reflections by Musil on modernism and its consequences.
