Wonderful!
It’s an eye opener for me! Bravo to you guys, you’ve found a time to reread these books for us listeners and to make an analysis of everything what goes along with the book. So insightful!! For instance I’ve never understood why people like so much Wuthering Heights, it was too depressing, dark and heavy for me, full of hate etc, just an unpleasant reading, I never could see the love there… But now I look at this book a bit differently, I understand that Emily had such a hard childhood, of course it’s just natural to see things that way after all she went through. Basically all episodes on each book gave me a lot, so far I’m very satisfied. After listening about Cervantes I must reread the Don Quixote, gosh, it’s wonderful!!! Discovered also Zorba the Greek - I’ve never heard of this book, how embarrassing. And as a Russian- I’m looking forward to listen all about Karamazovs. I have to round up by saying thank you, you did a great job, so useful for people who love reading, so so interesting to listen your discussions. I’m grateful for finding this podcast! Updated on 03.09.2021 - I’ve just listened to a couple of more episodes. All what I can say - thank you again for a brilliant analysis. I want to read or reread all the books you’re talking about. Your podcast is doing magic for me, it’s a yoga for my mind. 04.09.2021 Just have listened the Karamazov Brothers episode. Still sobbing.. will be difficult to take from my mind that horrid incident about the boy and the dogs (Game of Thrones). I just hope that the last bonus episode will help to forget it. But otherwise the podcast is wonderful! I’m so happy that I found it and listen through all the episodes. One left to go.

I’ve come late to this series, just now completed Zorba, Book 4. I love the format of Andrew and John passionately discussing their selections with James bookending the presentation as introduction and sign-off. I’ll look in on IPA Young Readers’ too but first let me complete these 10 great...Read full review »
