Introduction
My name is Danika and I moved to MA from IL last year. I read a lot for work but would like to read 1) more fiction and 2) a greater variety of fiction.
Name one book that you read and enjoyed recently. What did you like about it?

The Remains of the Day. I identified with the aging English butler and felt a dull ache as he considered with regrets-denial-acceptance the decisions of his life.

Who is your favorite writer?

I don't have one. I don't often read multiple books by the same author. I have enjoyed Henry David Thoreau, Jamaica Kincaid, Umberto Eco, and Jorge Luis Borges.

Share one other detail about yourself

I have a six year old Australian Shepherd-Retriever dog named Magglio.
