And we're not just talking about books here, all text based communication is up for analysis.

In Episode #414 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: Juan's challenge to control his compulsive behaviour, why I don't try and predict the end of a story, the freedom of zero expectations, our purpose for reading and whether technology will change the medium of consumption for books.

Massive thanks to Dave Jones, McIntosh and Amy The Great for the support! Always awesome to see a new supporter jumping in.
