Tea or Books? #17: diaries vs letters and The Importance of Being Earnest vs The Picture of Dorian Gray
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Tea-or-Books-episode-17.mp3
Letters! Diaries! Oscar Wilde! We’ve got it all – well, those three things – in episode 17 of Tea or Books?, which has taken a bit of time to arrive, for which I apologise. But we are as rambling and bookish as ever. Do let us know which you’d choose in each category, and any suggestions you have for great collections of letters of diaries.
Ooops for the moment where I said Virginia Woolf when I meant Jane Austen. Sorry Jane.
Next week we’ll be getting into all things Agatha, pitting Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot against each other. That one should be fun. Do, do, do let us know any suggestions you have for future episodes – we love getting them. Listen above, or visit our iTunes page (or use your podcast provider of choice). You can even rate us on iTunes if you so please.
