The Real Question

Should I Quit: Buying New Books?


Listen Later

Charlie James can't stop buying books. Every time they’re in a bookstore, there seems to be a new book calling them, a new trove of knowledge ready for them to explore. But Charlie's not reading books as fast as they’re buying them. Should they quit buying books and focus on their ‘To Be Read’ pile? Should they get rid of the books they already own?


This week on Should I Quit? Vanessa and Charlie discuss what it means to be a ‘reader’ and its relationship to consumerism. 


if you want to check out Charlie’s comedy work, you can find them @nonbinarycowboy on TikTok, Instagram and X.
