Anne Trubek: “I no longer feel a need to prove anything through my choice of book to read. I often barely even remember them a day or two later, and that’s just fine. I am again like I was when young, sitting on that floor looking up at shelves of spines, deciding what to read based entirely on back cover copy and whim. Short or long, old or new, funny or devastating. It’s a gift and a solace: pleasure severed from ambition or duty.” I wrote a whole book about this!
