A followup to the last episode, R.S. Benedict is again joined by Gareth and Langdon of Death Sentence, a podcast about books for people who hate books, podcasts and capitalism but like metal. In this episode, we look at things other than fiction that a well-rounded writer should read—poetry, literature in a foreign language, nonfiction and literary criticism. We also take a look at how to read. (But not literally.)
(Regretfully, as with the previous episodes, there are some audio issues during recording; we’ve done the best we can to clean them up, though.)
