The stay-at-home orders for millions of people across the world have radically changed how we spend our time.

One activity that’s been largely untouched by the pandemic? Reading. What is on your reading list? Share your favorite titles in the comments section of this article, along with anything a potential reader should know about them. (Great pacing? Beautiful writing? Zany, off-the-wall humor?) If you’ve read some of the titles suggested by other commenters, feel free to endorse their recommendations. We may compile some of your suggestions, along with your comments, for an Instagram story.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for inspiration, we have you covered. Here’s a list of essential nonfiction books about pandemics, and another of novels about disease. We asked our colleagues across The Times for suggestions of books that bring them comfort in tough times, and some famous authors told us their recommendations, too.

Need a break from reading about disease, real or imagined? Here are 12 new books our editors recommend this week, and a list of new books to watch for this month.
