So here’s some random happiness, while I steel myself for the foreign-affairs stuff:
Just had the lovely experience of listening to my 4-year-old tell another kid what I do for work. "My mom talks to people and then she writes down their stories, but they have to be real, not pretend. There are no mermaids."

“The best reason to favor paper … is its relative inconvenience, the fact that you will run out of reading material and have to look for a new book wherever you are in the world. This builds an element of unpredictability into a trip.” ?@WaPoTravel? https://t.co/3k2REcffCJ

I've been asked this a lot so it's worth saying publicly: you should never—like never ever—feel bad about getting my books from the library instead of purchasing them. Libraries are one of the best things in the world. It's a thrill to have my books in them. Support them always.

I mean think about it, a place where you can go and get books…for free! And then pass them along to someone else. And then…get even more books. And it's open to everyone. What a concept! It's a testament to public community institutions, and one we shouldn't take for granted.
