I don't write prose, but I would think that, as a writer, you have a deeper appreciation for great writing. Naturally, you would pick up on that as a reader. I'm learning guitar and it has changed the way I hear music. Similar.

Funny how differently I read this now than I did when I was young.

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.

Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.

Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.

Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.

Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

I want to see the people out on the street, passing out cookies, doing each other's hair, and hugging when the gestapo shows up.

Just got a letter from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield saying that they can require that surgeries like a hip replacement take place in a doctor's office or an Ambulatory Surgery Center instead of a hospital. But they helpfully point out that the parking is better, so it's a win-win for everyone.

Lol - I have a weak spot for domestic thrillers. They are glorious trash.

The Blandings Castle books with Lord Emsworth and his prize pig, The Empress of Blandings, are also a good choice.

Anything Wodehouse and the Lucia Stories by EF Benson. But reading in general is comfort to me.
