Episode Synopsis

On this journey, I'm joined by Safiya as we discuss What makes a book a "light read"? Does this reflect on quality? Do we find more light books in some cultures or regions than others? Is escapism a desirable purpose in reading "light" books?   For a list of all the books mentioned, go to the post for this episode on the website: www.booknomadpodcast.com/reviews/light-reads.   Disclaimer: book features ≠ endorsements. We speak as readers, not experts.
