My first quarantine read, A Writer’s Diary by Virginia Woolf, is probably the least-likely read for anyone on this list (it was my first time reading it in its entirety), but let me tell you that it is worth it, especially if you are despondent about not doing enough during quarantine. You know who basically napped for six months straight? Virginia Woolf! You know who else found herself completely unable to work in the face of global catastrophe? Virginia Woolf!!! My favorite quote from her diaries is “arrange whatever pieces come your way” which I am debating stick-and-poke tattooing on my body (chill, Mom, I’m only kidding).
