The other day I was teaching an adult class and they started asking me if I had read any good books lately and I named what I had read recently, mostly short stories as this is what I prefer to read and they asked me if I had read this Ann Pachett book, which apparently all of them had read, and all I could think was of that puffy inflated font on really poorly written books that people buy in airports and for the beach, and then I sort of hated myself for thinking about that, because how do I know what's better, I've never read Ann Pachett, how do I know she's bad?
