It’s beautiful. It’s about money and buying things and desire and pettiness. And I love reading about normal people just making their way through the world and figuring out what makes them so extraordinary. It’s a beautiful book.

The Bluest Eye
Toni Morrison
It haunted me. It was both good and bad. I listened to it when I was nursing sometimes middle of the night. And I would go back to bed and I truly could not sleep because her voice was in my head. It might be a perfect book. It’s so incredible.
