I feel like we all wish we read more. Am I right in thinking that? The moment you become an adult there's this impalpable pressure that's suddenly placed upon you to be so fucking well read, it's an exhausting expectation. That being said, I'm always impressed by people who read a ton and will forever love that trait in a person.

I will never be well read. That's just a fact I've come to deal with, which is fine. I mean, I read - but maybe only five or six books a year (and that's considered a good year). (One time I read three books in four days and I feel like that sentence may be my final words someday I'm still so proud of it.) Anyway, it's all right to assume that you probably read more than I do. And if that is true, and you give any kind of a shit about getting actual GOOD book recommendations on what to read next, then this blog (Read Hard) is for you.

The lovely woman who writes it is my dear friend Adele and she writes exactly how she speaks, which I think is rare and just the best. She just started it earlier this month and it's about goddam time.
