Ashley Parker shares her cultural favorites, highlighting her admiration for Ann Patchett's writing. She began with 'Bel Canto' and now eagerly reads all her new works. Parker identifies as a modern-fiction speed-reader but finds Patchett's stories memorable. Currently, she enjoys the TV series 'The Studio' and recalls binging 'The Survivors'. Her favorite movie, 'Wonder Boys', stands out as an exceptional adaptation that surpasses the original book. Parker expresses excitement about literary mysteries, particularly works by Tana French and Jane Casey.
"I came to her late, and the first book I read was Bel Canto, but then I was hooked. I went back and read everything else she'd written."
"My dirty secret is that I'm basically a modern-fiction speed-reader and very little I read stays with me, but Patchett has a way of creating entire worlds and characters that linger."
"We’ve since moved on to The Studio with Seth Rogen, which is consistently funny and well done."
"Wonder Boys is the rare movie that surpasses the book."
