72: This Is A Bit Embarrassing… (books we’ve never read)
Listen now
Description
Louise and Virginia thought it might be fun to do an episode on books that they feel a bit embarrassed to have never read (until now). There were a lot of books to choose from, but they discuss four in this conversation.      During this chat they also create an Ick Register for authors who use words that give the ick, so that readers can be warned in advance (kind of like a trigger warning, but more basic).     Books   The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro   Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, translated by Jay Rubin   Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote   Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson       Television Shows   Scrublands - Stan   Boy Swallows Universe – Netflix     Podcasts   The Children of Rutherford County – Serial   The Queen’s Reading Room
