225: Melissa Mogollon (OYE) and Jenny Odell's HOW TO DO NOTHING

Thursday, June 13, 2024 • Duration 01:02:50

Melissa Mogollon zooms in to talk her debut Oye, and all the fun she had writing it. That means we talk how her friends are like her sisters, the unusual structure that always felt like it could fail, and how she might write a sequel from the sister’s perspective. Plus, she brings along Jenny Odell’s How to Do Nothing, a book that was great to revisit, and is informing her on how to connect digitally as she releases her book.

137: Back in the Saddle or, Reading Snapshot

Tuesday, May 19, 2020 • Duration 41:50

Drew and Christopher actually talk at one another in this one. The very first episode of So Many Damn Books where Christopher and Drew aren't actually in a Damn Library together. The resulting episode is probably the closest to what it's actually like to hang out with them when the microphones are off. How books are providing comfort, project reading, Stephen King, audiobooks, and culling shelves all get touched on, along with lots of other bookish subjects.

Stay safe, we love you.

136: St. Jordi Day (with guest co-host, Dani)

Tuesday, May 5, 2020 • Duration 34:43

Drew and his wife Dani are sheltering in place, so it's their turn to record an episode (without Christopher) about their happy history exchanging gifts on St. Jordi Day, and their relationship in books. Drew shares the story of how Lauren Groff bless/cursed them at a book signing, they discuss how their senses of humor aren't always aligned on the page, and they get into their lives as members of an in-person book club too. Nice.

Stay safe and stay home and stay sane, all. We love you.

134: Tournament of Books 2020 Wrap-Up: Zoom After Hours (with Nozlee Samadzadeh)

Tuesday, April 7, 2020 • Duration 56:17

Nozlee Samadzadeh hosted Christopher and Drew for her "Zoom After Hours" discussion of The Morning News' 2020 Tournament of Books, and it was such a nice time that we are putting it out for all of you to listen to. They discuss that final, get into the tournament's history, Andrew Womack shows up for some surprising Super Rooster Tournament Revelations, and other commentariat join in the fray. It's a good time. Take care, everyone!

133: Jenny Offill's WEATHER (with guest co-host, Sarah)

Tuesday, March 24, 2020 • Duration 30:24

Christopher and his wife Sarah are social distancing/self-isolating, so they record an episode (sans Drew) about Jenny Offill's oddly prophetic Weather. They discuss the grim, fascinating distance of Offill's voice, and can't stop drawing parallels from her muted disaster/emergency to our own. Plus, they get a little bit into how books are the foundation of their relationship.

Stay safe and sane, all. We love you.

132: Jordan Kisner (THIN PLACES) & Louise Fitzhugh's HARRIET THE SPY

Tuesday, March 10, 2020 • Duration 01:10:35

Longtime friend Jordan Kisner drops into the Damn Library for everyone to celebrate the release of her debut essay collection Thin Places! We discuss the term "thin places" and many of its permutations, not wanting to write about your mom, being able (or not) to recognize your own mind, the joy of an egg white cocktail, and whether or not it's okay for Harriet the Spy to've broken into all those houses. We also talk about whether or not we would've (...or did, Drew) broken into our neighbor's houses.
