We’re back and we’re catching up with our reading again. Specifically, in this episode, we seem to be reading in bed. You’d think that such a common pastime wouldn’t merit much discussion, yet somehow we manage to derail our conversation about the actual books with opinions about the best positions in which to read them. It’s like the Kama Sutra, only with more papercuts.







Main Topic: Media Catch-Up – Books







Once again, we’re talking about books we’ve been reading recently, discussing how they’ve inspired us, or maybe just given us nightmares. There’s quite a range this time, and more digressions than usual, but you should still come away with a few solid recommendations.
