In the event 'One Nightstand' at 11 Howard, Sarah Jessica Parker discussed her role as a Booker Prize judge requiring her to read over 200 books this year. Devoting countless hours daily, she shared insights on her favorites like Lucy Caldwell's 'These Days,' which captivates with its historical context. Parker expressed a deep fascination for Irish literature, especially Paul Murray's 'The Bee Sting.' She also highlighted the emotional impact of Carys Davies’ 'Clear,' showcasing the unexpected depth of character relationships. These selections reveal her literary passions and dedication to reading.
When I finished this most recent batch, we were up to book 103... I'm devoting sometimes 6, 8, 10 hours a day to reading.
What struck me early in the pages was how smooth and masterful Lucy is... She pulled me in with this moment in time.
As [AJLT showrunner] Michael Patrick King always says, 'I love a book that pushes on the bruise. I love feeling deserted,' she says of the novel.
She created a relationship between two men that you just never see coming... I couldn't believe it.
