So I had to read this for a class and it was really interesting. It was a dense read but the author breaks it into sections/subsections within the chapter so you can take breaks. Good for those who are interested to see where data is going on print vs digital reading.

Eating at a restaurant alone is one of the essential skills of the freshly-moved. Sometimes a girl's gotta have pancakes. And anyway, as Andrew Lang said, "A book is a friend whose face is constantly changing." So I guess I'm never eating alone when I have a book. ?

GinaAnderson I like everything about this. 8y
LiteraryinLawrence Eating alone can be super empowering! You are the mysterious stranger with the book. 8y
MrBook Granted, with a book is never alone, but one should share in the company of another while doing so nonetheless. Thank goodness for @BookBabe 😊. Looks delicious anyway 😋. 8y
