More quotes by Susan Orlean

One of my favorite activities as a teen-ager was to watch television over the phone with my best friend.

I once had a boyfriend who couldn't write unless he was wearing a necktie and a dress shirt, which I thought was really weird, because this was a long time ago, and no one I knew ever wore dress shirts, let alone neckties it was like he was a grown-up reenacter or something.
