Tea or Books? #129: Authors Who Wrote Too Much vs Not Enough and A Room of One’s Own vs A Bookshop of One’s Own
Virginia Woolf, Jane Cholmeley, and authors who wrote too much or not enough – welcome to episode 129!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/tea-or-books-129.mp3
In the first half, we use a great topic suggestion by David – do we prefer authors who wrote too many books or those who didn’t write enough? And what do we mean by that? It was really fun trying to decide which authors fell into which category.
In the second half, two quite different works of non-fiction: A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf and A Bookshop of One’s Own by Jane Cholmeley.
If you’d like to find out more about our appearance at Marlborough Literary Festival – here’s their events info.
