Something I do for comfort is buy books.
I don’t necessarily read (whole) books, but I do enjoy being in a book store, deciding to purchase a book, bring it home/load it on my Kindle, and have that book.
Sitting here at my desk at home I can see a bookshelf of books that I have purchased in the past but have not read. Some of them were purchased more than 20 years ago.
Yesterday I visited a webpage that noted the 100 best books of 2020 and I thought yip! loaded up amazon.com.au and loaded each of the books I thought would be worth reading. I ended up with about a dozen of those books as tabs in my browser. Most of them had Kindle or Audible versions so I was about to add them to my Kindle library when I suddenly remembered the Library. I looked up each of those books and easily 10 of them were at the library and I could request them - some of them were even digital. They all had waiting lists, but it was super easy to add my name to that waiting list.
Who even am I?
Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.
