Just finished reading Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom. The quick summary? Everybody lies. And because everyone lies they then try to get away from their lying selves, but it’s hard to get away and be free because in the end everyone lies – and why would you run away from yourself to something else when that other thing is a lie? Better to live with your lying self because lying to yourself enough and it becomes true. We live in spite of ourselves.
