197 - M Train by Patti Smith

from Another Book on the Shelf Hosted by Gen and Jette

In Episode 197, we're talking about M Train by Patti Smith, one of our forever favourite artists. This year we're making an extra effort to crush our TBRs and reading books that we both already own or have been meaning to read forever, and of course we both have more Patti Smith to read! Show Notes We loved this book, obviously, but we raged against the deckled edges the entire time. Patti Smith is living the life we both want, so we're going to figure out how to do this, too. If you haven't already, definitely read Just Kids, Patti Smith's book about her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe when they were in their twenties living in New York. And then listen to Episode 159! Patti Smith visits a few cemeteries and we were reminded of our episode about Somebody Is Walking On Your Grave by Mariana Enriquez. Our next episode is a book club episode and we'll be talking about Gen's pick, Orwell's Roses by Rebecca Solnit. Other Books & Authors Mentioned Haruki Murakami Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
