008 Marion Hill on "Memory and Dream" by Charles de Lint
07/20/20 • 34 min
I'm a longtime fan of the thoughtful book reviews that my guest Marion Hill writes. He is possibly the most diverse reader I've ever met - veering around all genres, always willing to try something new and recommend unfamiliar authors and books. I was delighted that he agreed to join me today to talk about why "Memory and Dream" by Charles de Lint is the Best Book Ever.

009 Mark Lefebvre on "Earth Abides" by George R. Stewart
My guest today is one of my favorite book friends, Mark Lefebvre. Despite how much I love talking books with Mark, I really dreaded reading his book choice, because it's a post-pandemic book and I'm a baby. But I'm so glad I went ahead and read Earth Abides. It's a lovely book about what makes us human when everything we know changes.
