“I'm a great Jane Austen fan. I go to her often when things seem bad. I love a British novelist named Penelope Lively, who has written a series of wonderful novels over the years. Most of them for grounding women and their relationships. Also interestingly, given some of the things I've said in this show highlighting the role of chance in everybody's life, sometimes producing sad outcomes and sometimes producing happy outcomes.

I like to read mysteries. I also have some favorite mystery writers. Andrea Camilleri, who unfortunately is now dead, wrote wonderfully about this Sicilian detective. I love the ways that many mysteries are stories about different societies can give you a fun window into a different society. When I was younger, I loved Hemingway and some of the great American authors, Faulkner and Saul Bellow. There were not so many female authors at the time.”
