Deep into the summer reading season we discuss how bookstores and libraries find their way into our vacation plans. Sarah pays tribute to the recently deceased, editor extraordinaire, Robert Gottlieb through her recent reading of his autobiography Avid Reader: A Life. Eric talks about a summer reading recommendation from Sharon and shares another great reading experience from UK independent press, Uniform books that takes us on a jog through England's southeastern coastal South Downs (the chalk hills). Sharon discusses a few books that she read from Sarah's curated Summer Reading List (not your typical beach reads) and provides a progress report on her Moby Dick summer reading plan.
