Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.
Join us today as we chat with Autumn Kern about one of the possible vices book lovers can face, Book Gluttony. What should we do when the intellectual life turns into a gluttonous experience instead of the joyous and virtuous experience it should be?
We had a very fun conversation and I hope you find camaraderie and some good advice.
