Enter me reading Emily St John Mandel’s (excellent). So what does my baby-end-of-the-world-angst have to do with. Here is t...

Your belief that you can power-read* a novel (in under a day) (the way you did in undergrad) is as steadfast – and as erroneous – as your belief that you can still drink the whole bottle of wine and not get a hangover. You learn that you are older than you once were, and older than you imagine yourself to be. The Library at Mount Char. As if there is one reason)...

I set myself an (overly) ambitious target of 100 pages a day. Ambitious because it took me an hour to read 15 pages. And I could only reasonably avoid my family and read on the dock for seven hours of the day. Because reading. I now think it’s about the experience of reading.

December 31, 2015 · 1:16 pm. The Heart Goes Last: Your Contract to Read All Atwood Has Been Voided. Thank God. As a student of Can Lit I am always going to get the new Margaret Atwood novel. It was in the contract I signed when I chose my field. Or did I not read the fine print? Or bother to inquire? If I had I might not have so readily signed on because at a certain point (as in.
