1. "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card.

It's the sequel to "Ender's Game", which I finished a few days ago. Both novels won Hugo and Nebula awards. My house is full of books I haven't read, and now that I'm pretty much in coronavirus isolation I'll have lots of time for reading. Problem is, constant worry about the world disintegrating all around me makes it difficult to concentrate on an intellectual pursuit like reading. I'm still hoping the aforementioned disintegration will turn out not to have been happening after all. If it is, I fear I'm in bad shape because I'm in some of the undesirable demographics: 70 years old, diabetes, high blood pressure. So now I'm essentially hunkering down and holding out for the promised vaccine in a year to a year and a half. If I can last that long...
