    Someday soon I will lose a lot of important things to a hard drive crash, and I’ll look back to listening to this podcast and ask: “WHY WHY DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO MUR.”

    And it’s always great to listen to Lou talk about fiction.

  2. Victor says:

    Could we get a list of the books/authors that were mentioned? I can’t quite hear all the names/titles clearly. Awesome show, lots of new books to read.
