The Imperfectionists made me:1. Wish I had followed that vague in-the-back-of-my-head whim freshman year to switch into the journalism school at Northwestern, even though the whim had more to do with my lack of getting cast in anything worthwhile and less to do with being the next Christiane Amanpour.
2. Wish that if I ever write a novel, my first go is as good as this.
3. Wish that this lovely collection of loosely bound vignettes detailing the lives of various staffers at an international newspaper based in Rome wasn't already being made into a movie. Because it's too much and too good for that.
4. Wish my subway stop was always a little farther away so I didn't have to put this down and get up.
