Keep going Lex. I am 52 years old and have not read any of the books on your list. I absolutely loved 1984 and am half way through Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I will continue throughout 2023 as long as you do. Without you, I would not be experiencing any of these books. Thank you, Paul.

I am SO HAPPY you are covering books now! Yes!!!!

Lex has basically started an international worldwide book-club!😂 What a fantastic thing, I for one feel strangely comforted knowing that thousands of people are all reading along with me - Thank you Lex!

I’m a 63-year-old grandmother who discovered your podcast last year and immediately became a fan. Only consider the well-meaning, constructive criticism and ignore the rest. You’re doing great and I enjoy your thoughtful interviews and interesting guests. I appreciated hearing your take on 1984, which was required reading in my English class back in 1976. Happy reading and best wishes for 2023.📚❤️

The fact you are doing breakdowns of your list has me so excited for the weekly releases

But in revisiting those old “dead” friends, we keep them very much alive.
