Do you have a list of
classics you’ve never read? You know, the ones you intended to read, but
somehow they slipped through the literary cracks?
Now you’re all grown up and
when people talk about these books you nod in agreement, because EVERYONE knows
how awesome that book is.
But the truth is, YOU DON’T
because you haven’t read it. And whenever anyone brings it up you remind
yourself—again—that you’ve got to read that book just so you won’t feel like
the only forty-year-old who hasn’t read To
Kill A Mockingbird. (Hangs head in shame)
That’s how I’ve been feeling
about Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott.
