(I am ashamed to admit how trashy, but let\u2019s just say a certain mommy-porn trilogy may have been involved.) And the worst part is, now I find myself unable to read anything good. How do I transition back to respectable books? Sincerely, Trashy <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dear T.,<\/p>\n<p>I think this has happened to a lot of us, in one form or another. I\u2019ve also had a variation on this experience with movies: the Ozus and Bergmans in my Netflix queue mock me as I sheepishly skip over them, yet again, in favor of season 2 of <em>The Borgias<\/em> or some competitive-cooking show that forces people to re-create a taste memory using one hand, a Bunsen burner, and a palm frond. Sometimes we need transitional fare, the literary equivalent of a basically formulaic romantic comedy with a low budget and indie pretensions, if you will.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, there is no shortage of reads that are every bit as fun as what you term trash, but won\u2019t leave you feeling like you just wasted six hours of your life. Lorin gave<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2012\/04\/27\/light-and-diabolical-coming-off-the-beats\/\"> a good rundown<\/a> not long ago. To his list I\u2019d add classics like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781400031702\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Secret History<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780316010702\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Case Histories<\/em><em><\/em><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780316010702\"><em><\/em><\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780385490818\" target=\"_blank\"><em> <\/em><em>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780385490818\">,<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780061440793\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Bonjour Tristesse<\/em><\/a>, and newer titles <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780865478619\"><em>Skippy Dies<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781594487019\/laura-moriarty\/chaperone\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Chaperone<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780393081718\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Ghost Lights<\/em><\/a>. If you like thrillers, there\u2019s no shortage. I enjoy Tana French, although she\u2019s not everyone\u2019s idea of a beach read. If you\u2019re really having a tough time weaning yourself, maybe try a different genre entirely: humorous essays always go down easy, and, along the same lines, short-story collections provide a gradual transition. Personally, I\u2019m a sucker for a juicy biography:<em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780393324143\" target=\"_blank\">The Sisters<\/a><\/em>,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/American-Gothic-Legendary-Theatrical-Family-Junius\/dp\/0671767135\" target=\"_blank\"> <em>American Gothic<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780375760815\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Savage Beauty<\/em><\/a> all got me through periods of intellectual exhaustion.
