My aunt just sent me an email offering to loan me her copy of A Thousand Splendid Suns, if I was interested.
My reply: Not for me, thanks. I am trying not to read any books set after 1950 because they are mostly too depressing. Not that the plague, poverty, prostitution, and the workhouse aren’t depressing, it is just that the outside chance of any of that happening to me is slim.
(Well, except the poverty... knock on wood.)
Actually, I hear the plague is making a comeback. Just to brighten your day...
