Great conversations!
I found you by accident and was thrilled to see two of my favorite novels on your list—The Leopard and The Radetsky March. Those are two brilliant novels that should be more widely read. Your conversations about them were most insightful and reminded me of details I had long forgotten. I also rediscovered the interesting similarities between the two novels, both dealing with the end of an era and the effect on a particular family. I wonder how listeners who have not read the novels have reacted; do you think you should include “spoiler alerts”? I realize that might be quite difficult because you’re not doing quickie reviews but more in-depth analyses which necessitate giving away elements of the plot. In any event, thank you for this great series. I’m on to the next eight episodes.

No academic jargon here. Just what I as a reader want: what makes this book stand out, it’s strengths and weaknesses in clear, concrete terms; relevant biographical and historical background.
