I try and consume it all. I read tons, especially young adult fiction. I also love quirky, offbeat novels; cultural analysis; mythology; girly fiction; fantasy; screwball romantic comedies; books with extremely flawed characters, yet somehow you really empathize with them; nonlinear narratives and language play.

Other Sashas is yet another extension of my reading journal. Maybe every author needs to keep faith with Nabokov, and every reader with Barthes. By Zadie Smith, collected in.
