E193: 🎙️ Welcome to the Plus Member bonus episode! Join me, Anna, and my special guest, Nick, as we delve into the fascinating world of reading and the evolution of our relationships with books. From childhood memories of exploring the colourful shelves of the library to university experiences with hefty reading lists, we share their personal journeys and insights.
🧝 🏰 I reflect on my transition from dismissing fiction as a waste of time to discovering its profound emotional impact, while Nick recounts his initial scepticism towards fiction and eventual appreciation for its ability to captivate and excite.
📕 Together, we explore phrases like "bookworm," "steep learning curve," and "point of inflexion," so settle in, and let's explore the question of fiction vs. non-fiction!
