We’re back in the studio with another jam-packed episode of the show. Listen in as we discuss:

• Which three literary characters would we bring along as part of our own Fellowship of the Ring (that aren’t part of the Fellowship of the Ring)
• If Neighborhood library boxes a good thing, and if people use them
• How to balance your diet of brain candy and more substantial books
• A book you we didn’t want to end
• And who said it: a Leadership Book or Captain Picard

As always, it gets weird, but it’s good.

A few of the books referenced this week:

• Thoughts for Young Men by J.C. Ryle
• Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck
• Lessons From Lucy by Dave Barry
• The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith
• Anathem by Neal Stephenson
