It’s such a heavy time right now, with heavier times coming at us like a mack truck, and I hope this finds you sheltered in place with plenty of good reading material. And, no, I don’t mean the New York Times and Washington Post. As our own Ty Hatfield told National Geographic this week, “Watching the news is not self-care.”
That said, if you ARE reading the Washington Post, I do hope you stumbled across book critic Ron Charles’ most recent video book review. It’s kind of everything.
Today, Charles bring us Totally Hip Literary Toilet Paper. “Behind every wipe, there’s a story,” he says. Note the latex gloves.
You can find the video, along with all of Charles’ previous videos — every one of them worth watching on repeat — here, but I’m embedding the latest below.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be reading The Glass Castle by Emily St. John Mandel.
