In the words of Anna Quindlen, “books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”

I can’t imagine a life without reading, but reading for pleasure can sometimes be harder than it sounds. Myriad responsibilities, relentless news cycles, and other factors can impact our desire and ability to read the way we’d like to. Consider this episode a gentle refresh. If you have a habit of checking out too many library books at once, struggle to get through the stack of books on your nightstand, or feel like your reading life is in a rut, today’s episode has some ideas to get curious about what you need in this particular season.
