In the dead of winter, when the ground is frozen solid, it's hard for me to think clearly.
For example, this interesting op-ed piece in the Washington Post about women writers. It has me thinking but I've got no conclusions. And I feel like I should have some conclusions.
Well thanks Michelle! Ya think? Shock value. You might be right. In 2009 I read 15 novels by men, 9 novels by women, and 27 nonfiction (didn't bother to check on the gender of the authors for those). Your take on this is very liberating. New Rule: stop taking opinion pieces so seriously. In fact, I'd be better off not taking any news stories seriously, they're all so awful these days.
