One thing she discovered was the detail that Amazon.com had on her reading habits. “I now know that on 15 February 2019 starting at 4.37 pm, I read The Deeper the Water the Uglier the Fish – a dark novel by Katya Apekina – for 20 minutes and 30 seconds,” Ms. Paul wrote. “On 5 January 2019 starting at 6.27 pm, I read the apocalypse-thriller Severance by Ling Ma for 31 minutes and 40 seconds.
