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 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.
It’s a great idea - I love Bowie, and I love books - but I realized 10 minutes into the first episode I listened to, which was about the Pulitzer Prize winning novel A Confederacy of Dunces, that if you’re going to listen to a podcast about books, it should be one led by people who understand literature, and know how to properly evaluate a book.
