This month, I’ve gotten into listening to episodes of KCRW’s Bookworm. From listening to public radio when I lived in LA, I was familiar with the program and the host Michael Silverblatt, but didn’t really tune in regularly. For some reason right now, though, the show has appealled to me. It’s been especially nice to listen to at times when I’m on my own at home. Some of the host’s questions are really involved and compelling, and it’s interesting to hear the authors’ respond. Very thought provoking. Today I listened to a recent episode with AS Byatt (pictured above) discussing The Children’s Book, which was particularly interesting to me because I just started reading this novel and, so far, am really enjoying it.
