“5. Sometimes new information really can change my feelings about an author.
Which is to say I’ve kept the two Alice Munro story collections that are dearest to me, but the rest are being donated.”
this spring I packed up a box of well loved Gaiman, Rowling, and yes Monroe etc. and put them in the basement. Seeing them everyday was making me sad now, no matter how once they’d given me joy.
