challenging dark funny informative reflective medium-paced

Obviously this is an iconic collection. I think I resonated most with the longer essays and the more journalistic ones--those pieces really sucked me in. However, "Goodbye to All That" gave me the same feeling... I think that the closer we are as readers to Didion's thought process, the more her writing shines; the more distant pieces didn't have the same hold on me.
