You said....”Here I was in America, and I was being forced to live like someone in a turd world country”.....
You are not even close to a third world if you’re concerned about stockpiling paperbacked books...you sound like you need a strong course in the difference between want and need.
Darlin', when you strictly observe the Jewish Sabbath, there is a very short list of what you're allowed to do: Pray, take a walk, study Torah, eat, take a nap, or read. Now the synagogues are closed so you're on your own, just you or you and your family. I don't want the paperbacks just because, but I need them in order not to go stir crazy during these long daylight savings time Sabbaths. Now do you understand my urgency about acquiring said books?
Things are so bad, no one is even inviting others to their seder. My neighbor and I are doing a seder together, just the two of us. Her children don't want her near the grandkids lest she catch something from them, and my peoples are sheltering in place.
