A Goodreads user asked Amy Engel:

hi, amy. in yr days as a criminal defense attorney, were there any books you read in that time period that particularly stand out to you as helping you disengage from the pressures of work?

Amy Engel Hi Paulie,

Even when I was working as a criminal defense attorney, I tended to read dark books. But if I wanted an escape, I always turned to David Sedaris. In particular, "Me Talk Pretty One Day" was my go-to book when I needed to laugh and disengage.

Best,
Amy
