World Book and Copyright Day #worldbookday

Today, 23rd April is World Book and Copyright Day - 23rd April being the death date of both Shakespeare and Cervantes (and various other literary anniversaries). https://www.un.org/en/observances/book-and-copyright-day
Because the UK has its "World Book Day" in March, it badges today as World Book Night https://worldbooknight.org/ : the Reading Agency released results of a survey done in mid April in the UK that showed that people in lockdown were reading more.
You can of course use resources like Project Gutenberg to read lots of books for free
