Lately I have Connie Willis on the mind, because one of her books is about a pandemic. I do NOT recommend reading it right now, it's a hard read at the best of times.
But she has another book that is great fun. To Say Nothing of the Dog is quite funny, and I've read it when I needed something easy and silly. I've been thinking of reading it again.
No, this would not be a good time to reread The Doomsday Book. I remember crying through a solid third of that one when I wasn't in any danger of plague; I can't imagine facing it now.
To Say Nothing Of The Dog sounds like just the kind of farce the world needs at the moment.
Thank you for bringing your playlist! All the music is unfamiliar to me and I look forward to giving it a try.

As for listening: I have a playlist of calming songs that comes to mind right now.
