Very interesting and informative

Very interesting to hear about what 5 books authors choose. I will never pick Angel Nagle’s choices. Terribly uninteresting and boring. But I guess that’s what makes this podcast so interesting. Very candid and informative. But still, my God her choices are dull, dull, dull.
