#56 Tara Westover's Educated
from Shared Pages · host sharedpagespodcast
Ian's pick for March 2026 was Tara Westover's memoir: Educated. He chose this book partially because he had read excerpts from it, partially because was a guest at the Babel reading series in Buffalo, NY this year, and partially because it's an interesting read. Babel is the story of Westover's childhood in Buck's Peak, Idaho. She was raised by her strictly religious parents along with her siblings, some of who left home, and some of whom stayed. Westover goes from rural Idaho to King's College and Harvard, and her story is one that facilitates thought, belief in the self, and a desire to grow. We hope you enjoy our discussion! April's pick is Ronnie's and she chose Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.
