Join Corrie Perkin and Michael McGirr for a conversation that spans more than just writing and reading. 

Michael is a writer, essayist, teacher (and a former Jesuit priest) and his latest work Books That Saved My Life: Reading for Wisdom, Solace and Pleasure is out now and available HERE.  

Corrie and Michael discuss some of the most influential books their lives, Michael reveals the real reason he left the priesthood, what fuels his love of teaching and much more. 

Our next BOOK CLUB BOOK is Middle England by Jonthan Coe (available HERE). We'd love you to join us for our discussion about this wonderful book in mid April, so get reading!

Corrie's recommendation of the week is Cardinal:The Rise and Fall of George Pell by Louise Milligan (available HERE).
