Media Catch-Up – Books
We’re back and we’re catching up with our reading again. Specifically, in this episode, we seem to be reading in bed. You’d think that such a common pastime wouldn’t merit much discussion, yet somehow we manage to derail our conversation about the actual books with opinions about the best positions in which to read them. It’s like the Kama Sutra, only with more papercuts.
