Useful thing that, Jim, in these strange times.

I have one too here from my membership at Dun Laoghaire Library, but 
don't use it: I prefer the paper versions. That said, I have a slew of 
good books here in the house that I have put on the long finger. I've 
just started Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald, and after that will read Island 
Stories (Britain and its history in the age of Brexit) by David 
Reynolds. I used to read omnivorously, but this interweb thingy has 
interfered with that for the last ten years or so...

Keep safe
