We Just Can’t Leave the Canon Behind: The Ladies Doth Fangirl Too Much

Welcome to the “Nothing is Wrong with You” book podcast.Today, we share stories about the role Shakespeare’s work has played in our personal and professional lives and argue for the continuation of reading his work in school–and make the case for teaching some that aren’t often taught.  We share our dirty secrets about canonical books we didn’t love and are going to take off our shelves to make room for more diverse voices. Book(s) we recommend - Ali Smith's season seriesAutumn by Ali SmithWinter by Ali SmithSpring by Ali SmithSummer by Ali SmithAlso recommended, The Unfurling Frond by Rebecca BeardsallBooks Rebecca is currently reading:Gabriele By Anne Berest and Claire BerestAll that We Own Know by Shilo KinoAtmosphere by Taylor Jenkins ReidBooks Colleen is currently reading:Raising Hare by Chloe DaltonNight Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean VuongThe Unworthy by Agustina BazterricaNo Straight Road Takes You There by Rebecca SolnitBooks Athena is currently reading:A Family Matter by Claire LynchBroken Country by Clare Leslie HallThank you for joining us. Three avid readers (Rebecca, Colleen, and Athena) host a podcast about being a reader to investigate their interactions with books: this includes a close look at books that people rave about, and we couldn’t even finish, and why we continue to follow writers when we have only liked their early books. It is also a place where we shine a light on the unseen or underappreciated books we fell in love with.SocialsNOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOU BOOK PODCAST website | https://rebeccabeardsall.com/podcast/ YouTube | @bookpodcastersCOLLEEN CLEMENSInstagram | @colclemensauthor REBECCA BEARDSALL website | https://rebeccabeardsall.comInstagram | @author_rebeccabeardsallATHENA ROTHInstagram | @athenaroth
