How chic.

Because if I'm reading in public, I'm trying to project certain things, right?

Like I'm trying to project maturity.

I'm trying to project serenity.

I'm trying to project literacy.

If I'm reading in public, the only thing going through my tiny animal brain is, I hope everyone can see me reading.

I can't even focus on the words on the page.

I'm so in love with the thought of myself reading.

I'm like, oh my God, I look beautiful.

I look like a French woman in a film.

And as I see them, they're reading.

They can't see me, but I can see the title of their book that they are reading.

And it is a book title that was not familiar to me then, but is painfully familiar to me now, right?

It was probably familiar to you, might be familiar to some of the queers, some of the frequent daters in the audience.

It is a book that was entitled, if you know the title, you can finish it for me.

It's a book that was called The Body...

Thank you.

Thank you.

The Body Keeps the Score.
