I remember being so charmed by that book as a 20-something; much later I realized I didn’t need to pretend to be charmed by misogyny. Tho, to be fair, it did give me good ideas of places to eat and drink…

I didn’t love “All that man is” so I didn’t rush to read Flesh. I’ll move on to The Land in Winter next!

The Bookers are my Super Bowl. Extremely stoked to see Flashlight and Audition on this list. Flashlight tops my list. Audition is still messing with my head. I need to catch up with the other shortlisted books. Sad that Misinterpretation got cut. I’m planning my trip to Albania already.

Spoiler alert…I’m better at makeup than certain Orange people. Also, pro tip, don’t get fillings two days before your headshot.
