Jonathan Yardley podcast - Second Reading
On August 8, 2011, Jonathan Yardley spoke at Politics & Prose about his book, Second Reading: Notable Neglected Books Revisited (Europa, $16).
It’s hard enough to keep up with all the new books coming out—but when
you consider the titles you’ve overlooked through the years, the task is
truly daunting. From 2003 until January 2010, The Washington Post’s
book critic offered an occasional, selective look at books worth going
back to. Now some of these essays have been collected—here’s great
reading on great reading.
