Today we continue our look at great Chicago authors and excellent stories set in Chicago to check out while staying indoors and practicing social distancing. With the current climate so heavy with bad news concerning the coronavirus, sometimes the best thing to do is get lost in a book where a great author can take your mind off things and provide a much-needed escape.

It's a great time to sit outside in your backyard or balcony and open up a book as we all continue to practice social distancing. This week we continue our look at great writers who have either hailed from the Windy City or set their famous works in the City of Big Shoulders.

When it comes to music, Chicago stands out as one of the breeding grounds for amazing groups and musicians spanning across all genres and tastes.
