One of my own shortcomings as a reader is that I havenโt always made an effort to get outside of my comfort zone when it comes to what I read, in particular books written by women or with women as central characters. I grew up as a reader of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy before falling hard for Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wodehouse, and others in the Highly Regarded White Men category. I also started reading a lot more non-fiction, and again, dominated by folks like Erik Larson, Christopher Hitchens, David McCullough, etc. This isnโt to say their work isnโt good or worthwhile, but if thatโs all you read itโs incredibly limiting and eventually repetitive. So Iโve been trying to break out of that, specifically trying to read more books by people who donโt look like me or have the same kind of cultural background that I do. Recent efforts here include โThe Goldfinchโ by Donna Tartt; โIn the Light of What We Knowโ by Zia Haider Rahman; โZealot,โ by Reza Aslan; โGone Girl,โ by Gillian Flynn, and now โThe Girl on the Train.โ The three central characters, Rachel, Anna, and Megan, are all well-developed, and through the course of the novel all are revealed to have their virtues and their flaws, and the book certainly passes the Bechdel test. Even more minor characters like Cathy, Rachelโs roommate, feel as though they could exist with their own lives outside of the central story. In this regard, โThe Girl on the Trainโ was terrific, and something that I hope makes me more empathetic to the variety of experiences people have.
