In a day and age of fast paced and brightly colored media on glowing screens, there sits the big book. It is more than a door stop or a place to hide valuable items. But in fact, what can one say about big books? That for some odd reason we either love them or hate them? Why is that? What is the appeal of a big book, yet also the hindrance? Are big books important? Why? And why must they be so heavy? Literally. But also figuratively. In 2017, I have challenged myself to read only big books of fiction. What constitutes a big book? It simply has to be 500 pages or longer. This podcast will document my year of big books. It will contain my book reviews and discussions with myself as I tackle philosophical questions about the specimen that is a big book, relating it back to pop culture and seeing if big books can provide insight to our lives. - - Website: https://ayearofbigbooksblog.wordpress.com/

Show Notes Chapter 2 discusses the book "Carry On" by Rainbow Rowell. Danielle asks the question, is fanfiction worthy of our time? She mispronounces J.K. Rowling's name again. You'd think a Potter fan such as herself would have learnt by now. Alas, no. That and more. Happy listening. ….

Chapter 1 discusses the book "The Cider House Rules" by John Irving. Danielle asks the question, does size matter? And she will tolerate no dirty jokes...for now. What works for this book? What doesn't? And what wisdom does it lend to the BIG books challenge? All that and more. Happy listening. ….

Danielle introduces the podcast and herself to the listeners. Also, she realizes while editing that sitting close to the microphone is a rookie mistake that she should not be making. Danielle's blog: www.keepcalmreadonblog.com Podcast website: https://ayearofbigbooksblog.wordpress.com/
