During the 21 months I spent behind bars, I read obsessively - sometimes 20 or more books a month. And maybe that was part of why treasured I them so much. The people I met in books did not know that about me. But they also brought with them the knowledge that I was in prison, and I could see in their eyes how it colored every interaction. Sure, there were friends and family who visit visited, bringing along our shared memories from the free world. _ When I was in prison, books sometimes felt like the only untainted connection to a past life.
