Today I heard the beloved Alex Trebeck died, and his biography is in a small pile of books accumulating by my television – all nonfiction. The white book on the bottom is the reverse cover of Woodward’s “Rage.” I am done being angry but don’t want to forget how easy it would be to slide back into that emotion.

Although this is only a sampling of books on my shelves, they are front and center when I watch the news.

• David Attenborough’s “ A Life on Our Planet”
• Alex Trebeck’s “The Answer Is…”
• Maxwell King’s “The Good Neighbor”
• Bob Woodward’s “Rage”
• Ina Garten’s “Comfort Food”
• Pete Souza’s “Shade”
• Bryant Johnson’s “The RBG Workout”
