Oprah's book club has nothing on Close Reads
If a book club could develop a cult following, this podcast has the three personalities that could accidentally pull it off. Angelina, Tim, and David bring the things. Graeme brings the art and sardonic wit. Even if you've read a book ten times, you get new insight on your favorite story when it goes through Close Reads. They connect the author's biography and culture, geo, political, historical context, and even movie trivia into an easy to follow conversation. It is the perfect venue to read books you always thought would be boring. Angelina, Tim, and David always make it fun. Then, on the FB page, you can ask questions, make jokes, or lobby for future Close Reads. Apparently, all CR podcast listeners are kind, because the follow up chatter is always welcoming.Read full review »

This podcast is insightful and often hilarious. Angelina, Tim, and David have wonderful camaraderie, and they always choose excellent books to read and discuss.

I wasn't an English major. I hated the books I had to read in high school. Literary criticism makes me nauseous. But I love stories. This podcast takes books you might have read in college or high school and finds their story and their voice. Makes reading fun again.Read full review »
