Welcome to the Quarantine Edition of Write Reads! It’s very similar to our regular podcast but we do some talking about virus naming conventions, social distancing, self-isolating, and the like. But mainly we discuss this really excellent book about Chinese restaurants. WARNING: This podcast might make you crave Chinese food! Maybe have a snack before you listen. And, if you’re stuck at home and bored, go back and listen to our entire library of podcasts. That’ll keep you busy.

• West With the Night by Beryl Markham


• Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee


• The Inquirer by Jaclyn Dawn


• Giving Up the Ghost by Hilary Mantel
