Customer Reviews
Wild sheep chase
Thank you for your recap and analysis. I definitely learned more from listening to the episode!
Brilliant Analysis, Highly Underrated
I’ve been listening to Makenzie for years. She provides superb in-depth analysis of the books she covers, which range from Charles Dickens to Don DeLillo to Edgar Allan Poe.
This is the book podcast you need in your life.
Makenzie: If you can read this, try out some Virginia Woolf. I would love to hear your take on her modernist, stream of consciousness style. To the Lighthouse is probably my favorite.
