" there was nothing else to do in that suckhole of a town. you go outside, you run around, people throw dirt balls at you, you get your ass beat. but reading is socially accepted disassociation. you flip a switch and you’re not there anymore. it’s better than heroin. more effective and cheaper and legal.

— mary karr, from this interview with the paris review.
