Subscriber-only episode Send us a text Books are a time-tested cure-all, so in this week’s bonus episode Amy weighs a few of the titles that have helped her forget life"s latest troubles and doubts … (sort of). She leaves no stone unturned in her quest for distraction, from Proust’s meandering sentences to a behind-the-scenes memoir about a beloved ’80s film and a charming, century-old suffrage novel that captures our current political zeitgeist.
