One topic that I would like to hear about on a Podcast would be Books that inspired the love of reading in you. Is there one book read early on in life that inspired a love of reading? Alice in Wonderland was mine for example. When I read it I was too young to read all the words without help,but it made me want to better my reading abilities so that I could follow in Alice's adventures.
I've been wanting to read this book since I first heard about it. It understand the characters are unforgettable. On that theme I'd like to hear more about fictional characters others find unforgettable.
There was recently a ruckus when some of the Nobel judges said they don't seriously consider American writers because they're too self-absorbed and not global enough. A discussion of that would make an interesting topic!
I really like L ideas and maybe books that you read throughout your life that made a lastig impression and that you return to. You could ask listeners to join in too, I enjoyed it when people rang in last time with recommendations.
Maybe work through the 100 best books lost and tell us your thoughts if you've read them.
Other than that I really like the format you use. I love the podcast and hearing about your jobs is fascinating and makes me jealous!
A topic I would like to hear about is what got her started in writing books.
A topic I would like you to discuss is books that need to be brought back in print. John Williams wonderful book "Stoner" was recently brought back into print because it was discussed in online forums. Books go out of print fast today; even libraries clean their shelves more often now. True, they're available through online dealers but it's important to rediscover worthy books for readers today.
For the commuters on my holiday gift list I'd like to hear a discussion of great "listens." Books that are as good to listen to as they are to read or "books" that are only available on audio at this time but might be printed in the future.
I would like to hear a discusion on favorite book characters. Who you would like to see in another book.Who you wish you could meet.
I like all these ideas for new podcasts. I really like the audiobooks idea. I listen to a ton of audiobooks and the reader really does make a huge difference in the enjoyment of the audiobook.
Going through my bookshelf of yet unread books gave me another idea. What about a podcast on older books you wished you had read sooner? There are so many good NEW books coming out that all the current books I've bought soon turn into old books on my shelf since there never seems to be enough time to read them. I can't catch up!
How about a podcast on the funniest book you've ever read? You could even talk about different categories of "funny." Just a thought!
