  • The book club I’ve always wanted

    I listen to this every week while I work on a strawberry farm in Japan. It’s perfect for me. Now, it might not work for you if you work on a Japanese melon farm, or even a strawberry farm in Korea, but it suits my listening needs perfectly so it’s worth a shot for you too.
