In this episode, we talk with prolific reader and accomplished musician Evan Stephens Hall from the band Pinegrove. We discuss his top books of the year and go through a few of our own favorite reading experiences from 2022.
Here is the David Foster Wallace & Richard Powers Q&A we mention.
And here is the reading poriton of that event that begins with DFW talking about the “brick” in his pocket.
The Pinegrove songs featured in this episode are Alaska and Habitat.
