Long abstractMy long-term roommate is a voracious reader, of the sort I was as a child and thought I always would be. The sort of person who has a book to read on the bus and a second one in her purse in case she gets through it too quickly, plus a few on the Kindle for backup. She uses the public library’s hold system as a private reading list in a way that isn’t quite what the original designers intended, but no one’s called her out on it yet. She has a knack for leaving the right books on the kitchen table when I’m having a hard time or just because she thinks I’ll like them. She makes my world bigger, and I am grateful. It’s an act of love that I don’t think I repay very well with the academic tomes I sometimes leave there for breakfast reading.
