Description
"Within every book, lies a novel idea."
Passionate about books to the point of alienation, join me every week for a particular topic through what we/I consider "classic" novels. From sci-fi to romance, it's the most wonderful time for bad jokes, book recommendations and possible lessons to be learned overall.
