A Journal of the Plague Year, Daniel Defoe, 1722

Daily Thoughts 03/19/2020

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

We are still sheltering in place.  I read most of the day and spend some time on the internet.

I read some more of The Art of Memory.  Some of the writing can be dense and slow to read.  It is quite esoteric at points.

I also read some more of What We Talk About When We Talk About Books.  I am reading about why people mark up their books.
