In praise of reading not to learn

I once read only to learn. Everything else felt like a waste of time. But learning also brings me anxiety. I love reading genre crime fiction, it lowers my anxiety, it takes me away from myself, the world.

My two current crime fiction/psychological thriller writers:

Michael Connelly

Frieda Mcfadden

And Thomas Harris - Red Dragon (part of the Hannibal Lecter anthology is absolutely exquisite)
