Ambre: you mentioned in this podcast a book you read that is about reading books. (The one that said it's ok just to look at a title or glance through it). What is the name of that book please?

That said, there's a book I bought last year because I think it may expound upon the idea which fascinates me. I haven't read it yet though but if you're interested it's called How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read by Pierre Bayard.

It was actually just an article. I'm not positive it was this one but this was the general content- https://writingcooperative.com/10-top-turnkey-titles-books-with-titles-so-good-you-dont-have-to-read-them-2002e25977a5

This was my experience of listening to this episode: pause podcast, look-up book on Amazon, add to wish-list; re-start podcast (and dish washing); pause again, look-up book on local library catalogue and place it on hold; re-start podcast (and dish washing); pause again, look-up book on local library catalogue and Amazon; re-start podcast (and dish washing). Rinse & repeat! It took me a long time to get through it but I loved it! Thanks for the many great suggestions.

I had a similar experience. I got Inside Cat and They All Saw a Cat at the library and just read them to my kids. They are delightful and full of wonderful things to talk about as a family. I'm going to add them to my home library. Thank you for helping me find many good and beautiful books for my family!

You're so welcome! I'm glad to hear they will find a place in your home library. They truly are great conversation starters!
