Chris Schluep, Amazon’s Senior Editor for books, talking about his team’s picks for the best books of 2018.
For those interested in our experience with a Tesla Model 3, I uploaded a new episode of The Edge of the Road Podcast detailing some minor problems with the car. I still love it, though.
Music for my podcast is from an original Thelonius Monk composition named "Well, You Needn't." This version is "Ra-Monk" by Eval Manigat on the "Variations in Time: A Jazz Perspective" CD by Public Transit Recording" CD.

“We often talk about accessibility. We start there. We talk about quality of writing. The story is important, obviously. Maybe the thing that gets you over the line is your visceral reaction to the book. How much are you willing to argue for it? You win some, and you lose some. Ultimately I think we come up with a great list. Every book on the Top 20 is a great book.”
