I've learned so much from Pamela Paul and when she talks, I listen. So when she writes a book about being a bookworm and hiding in books as a way of getting through the uncomfortableness of being young, or not so young, I pick it up and read it even if it seems like not my thing.
But it was my thing. Completely.
The best book I've read all year because I felt good about myself being a bookworm because she made it seem worthy or at least not embarrassing and maybe somewhat noble.
And I learned she was once married to the creepy Bret Stephens who is the climate denier at the NYT opinion page, a controversial figure to say the least and somewhat of a giant asshole, so I'm told.
And now she's so successful, and so connected, and so perfect in every way that you feel like maybe being a bookworm isn't such a bad way to spend the day after all.
