    S6E20 - Book Club: The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

    SPOILER ALERT:

    Today we are discussing an Oprah Book Club pick. The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese was recommended by a friend. He had done it for his book club. His thoughts are recorded towards the end when he joined us briefly.

    This book is long and so is our discussion. It was good to hear everyone's point of view.

    S6E19 - Book Club: Wellness by Nathan Hill
