Of books, bookshops and the pandemic

I found this meme online recently (I wish I knew where this picture was taken) and it made me laugh a lot. I also think that, for a meme, it's actually pretty smart and spot on. Our daily life has been changed a lot since the pandemic. A lot of what we took for granted turned out inaccessible and some things that we thought ridiculously far-fetched and at best improbable are now not only plausible, but even common. It changed us a lot. Thankfully, we still have bookshops, even if they have been struggling.
