Remix Reads; books to keep you occupied during iso

We're stuck at home so the bad news is you can't buy paperbacks from the store, but the good news is you can still purchase books online to read on your device/books app/kindle for a sliver of a paperback price.

I can appreciate everyone has different tastes, and the salacious celebrity memoir might not go down so well for the sci-fi fan, so here's the best books to read during ISO based on your fave genre...
