  • I, like, love this podcast

    I really enjoy hearing about books straight from the source! Plus the whole series about books to movies and the pluses/minuses of film adapation is deeply on point. Love, love, love.

  • Entertaining book-to-film discussion

    It’s refreshing to hear booksellers have a thoughtful debate on the merits of film adaptation. These guys are movie-lovers for sure, but obviously appreciate the printed word.

    One question, eight ‘like’s’. How many in the whole podcast? Invest in an editing program if you can’t speak without this annoying verbal tic.

  • Not surprised it’s top notch!

    Just like the store…. I lived in LA for years and I miss the store. These podcasts remind me of nights under the tree at Skylight. Keep it going.
