" I occasionally will read fiction because my wife Anna is a writer of young adult fiction. She just released her first book, Learning Not To Drown, and she is very discerning when it comes to recommending a book for me. She was the first to turn me on to David Sedaris. She told me about House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, which is about a clone who lives in this future country that exists between the border of America and Mexico and ruled over by an opium king. "
"She let me read it at various points when she felt like she had gotten the book to the next level. I probably read it a dozen times because she’d been writing it over the course of almost 10 years. I read many different versions of it. Just thinking about reading it once a year… a lot happens in that amount of time."
"I should say the other book fans should check out is Learning Not To Drown, my wife’s book."
Thanks for the heads up, crazygirl! ;)
