This week, we visit the stars above! We read The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell this episode of Required Reading. In a remarkable piece of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Anthropology and Catholicism, the Sparrow is a story of triumphs and trials and it is all the more incredible for doing so. 

As we have done all season, I will be sharing the next book. In October we will be covering a classic horror tale and it's modern retelling. We start with a reading of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley followed by Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. 

Please continue to share and review! Also, if you are interested, follow me on Good Reads and follow us on Twitter @required_pod
