    I love this podcast as it traces a creatives life through the books they read and liked the most. Fascinating to hear the differences between Brits and Americans, though some Americans grew up reading Dickens or Jane Austen and some of the British actors, etc. like Joan Didion more than anyone else. I just wish she was still recording the podcasts!

(The accompanying website is also very helpful as it gives you links to other books mentioned in the episodes, as well as links for certain editions and publisher information of the five principal books in each episode).

    In addition to the bookish thing... more

  • Wonderful podcast

    This podcast is such a great concept! Learning what books shaped someone’s life and identity gives you such a fascinating window into who they are. And it makes you think about your own “life in books” as well. I’ve always loved reading, and books, and this podcast is a lovely reminder why they matter so much, to so many. Bonus: great book recommendations! You’ll never run out!
