When talking about his reading practice, author Richard Powers once said, "I like to keep one work of fiction and one of nonfiction going at once, and I’ll use them to triangulate against each other to conjure up some third space." In this episode, we talk about this idea of the "third space" that arises when we read more than one book at the same time and how it can transform our reading experience into something deeper and richer than ever before.
