Episode Details

In case you missed it, we are having a book club with James Salter’s Light Years. If you have read the book in the past few months with us, then you will be happy to know that the wait is over. Yesterday we recorded our thoughts on the book, on life, marriage, popularity and insecurities. Today we welcome you into that discussion and hope to hear your thoughts on Nedra, Viri, Hadji, Franca, Kaya and Arnaud.

I told David that I don’t normally read fiction, but this book made me feel something— which perhaps is the point of reading. If you haven’t read the book, do that now and save this podcast for later. This was one of the most interesting and enjoyable conversations we have had on this podcast. I hope you all agree and thanks for waiting for us. -MW
