Two friends have had a book club for a very very long time. It was mostly an excuse to drink and gossip. In January of 2016, they found renewed purpose in their sadness over the death of David Bowie. They decided to stop mucking around and actually get some reading done - from the list of books that he loved.

I’ve been listening for years, due to being a Bowie fanboy since college. After following the podcast, I’m a fanboy of Kristianne and Greg. I love Kristianne’s voice and laugh. And I love that Greg makes Kristianne laugh with his sense of humor. I hope Kristianne does audio books so I can hear her voice even more, and I hope they continue for many years with podcasts beyond Bowie’s 100 book list.

I would love to hang out with these people. Their discussions are fun and smart.
