About this episode
Welcome to Books We've Loved , a new limited series from Book of The Day . Every episode, we will dig into some of our favorite books, to make the case for picking up a book from the past. Hosted by Book of the Day ’s Andrew Limbong and Code Switch ’s B.A. Parker , they will be your guides through these timeless stories. Bringing on NPR voices and book nerds far and wide, they will discuss titles by authors like Anthony Bourdain , James Baldwin , and Jane Austen , and asking their guests questions like — why can’t they get this book out of their head? How did this book shift a paradigm, shake the culture, or change their life? And, most importantly, why should you read it now?
