At the laundromat
She is reading The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple, by Jeff Guinn. She heard about it from a podcast called Last Podcast on the Left. It's been on her reading list for a while and she finally got around to it. Recently she's also read The Secret History by Donna Tartt and My Sister, the Serial Killer, a black comedy thriller that was long-listed for the Booker Prize, by Oyinkan Braithwaite, a Nigerian author. (I just put a hold on it at the library.) Her two favorite books are The Virgin Suicides, by Jeffrey Eugenides and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, by Patrick Suskind, translated by John Woods.
I had waited to the last minute to photograph a reader this week and on Sunday night, on my 45-minute walk home from dinner at a friend's house I peeked into every taqueria, fast food restaurant laundromat, bar, and donut shop hoping to see someone with a book. I was almost home and about to forgo posting this week when I saw this reader in the back corner of a laundromat. Thanks again for letting me take your picture!
