from What Should I Read Next? · host Anne Bogel

Going a step further - have you ever straight-up ASKED a stranger about the book they're reading? For most of us, that sounds intimidating.

Uli is the creator behind Subway Book Review on Instagram, a project dedicated to sharing book reviews from strangers on the train, accompanied by gorgeous black and white photos. In today's episode, Anne gets a deeper look who Uli is as a reader, creator, and New Yorker, and recommends 3 books she thinks Uli should pick up next.
