Books with Bookt

EPISODE:

We're taken on a journey through Samantha's reading list and the joy of tactile hobbies in an academic world. We discuss Western notions of art and beauty, where literature becomes a necessary wrecking ball. When it comes to books, Masters says, “I like the intrigue, and I like to be guessing and trying to understand and unravel a plot.”

Masters’ book picks:

• Journey Under the Midnight Sun – Keigo Higashino
• The Devotion of Suspect X - Keigo Higashino
• The Song of Achilles – Madeline Miller
• History of Beauty – Umberto Eco
