    I am desperately trying to figure out the point of this interview. Who wants to hear about this during these very depressing times?

    This woman is shockingly irritating. You drank, we get it.

    I am sorry is it me. Am I just simply tired of listening to creative dysfunction. I can't believe people (including me) find these books attractive. Today we are treated to back to back dysfunctional segments.

    It all just feels like such a cliche. It seems she's pretty proud of her former bad self. She's trying way too hard to be cool.

    Ms. Karr, very charming. I'm going down to the pub now.
