Curious Minds at Work CM 121: Chip Conley on Bringing Wisdom to WorkWhat can older workers contribute to fast-growing companies populated by digital natives? A lot.

(By the by, do go and listen to my brother’s films podcast, The C to Z of Movies, which you can also find on iTunes.) In the second half, we pit two Elizabeth Bowen novels agains...

(It will all make sense in context.) And then two books that were lynch pins of my doctoral thesis – The Love-Child by Edith Olivier and Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner. Prepare yourself for hearing lots about my research, partly because it’s the first time since my viva that anybody has sat down and listened to me talk about it.

But we are as rambling and bookish as ever. Do let us know which you’d choose in each category, and any suggestions you have for great collections of letters of diaries.

That’s the first question we ask ourselves, courtesy of Michelle of Book Musings, and have a lot of fun discussing it. In the second half of the episode we get uncharacteristically modern – pitting two Audrey Niffenegger novels against one another, The Time Traveller’s Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry. You might be able to tell that we’re better off talking about old books… but we tried, y’all. As usual, we’d love to hear your feedback, which you’d choose, and any topics you’...

Sad endings? And a couple of Elizabeth von Arnim novels – we have a fun, albeit somewhat sickly episode. It makes me think of my favourite, my-missed sitcom Happy Endings, but we’re actually talking about whether we prefer books to be cheerful or miserable at the end (or, indeed, something in between). Spoilers alert, unsurprisingly – and thanks, Faith, for your suggestion. In the second half of the podcast, we talk about one of our favourite writers, Elizabeth von Arnim, and stage a battle between her two most fam...

Somewhat to my surprise, we didn’t actually end up talking about all that many individual books – the list is below – so do let us know which biographies and autobiographies you particularly love (and which you’d choose if you had to make the Tea or Books? decision!)
