Dave Eggers - You're Booked

This week we're delighted to present this late night, transatlantic phone chat with the legendary Dave Eggers! Dave is the author of many books including The Circle, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, A Hologram for the King, What Is the What, and The Museum of Rain. His latest if the tech satire The Every. He's also the founder of publishing house McSweeney's and co-founder of 826 National, a network of youth writing and tutoring centres around America. We talked to him about avoiding The Plague, deep-diving into Melville, timeless kids books and who the funniest writer in the world happens to be.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - Insatiable Daisy Buchanan - CareeringDave Eggers - Heartbreaking Work...Dave Eggers - The EveryDave Eggers - The CircleAlbert Camus - The PlagueHerman Melville - Selected WritingHerman Melville - Moby DickFrank Herbert - DuneWalter Wangerin - Book of the Dun CowRichard Adams - Watership DownJason Reynolds - Long Way DownL Frank Baum - Wizard of OzHugh Lofting - Dr DolittleRobert Louis Stevenson - Treasure IslandFlorence and Richard Atwater - Mr Poppers PenguinsSE Hinton - The OutsidersBeverley Cleary - Beezus and RamonaKenneth Grahame - Wind in the WillowsEB White - Trumpet of the SwanEB White - Charlotte's WebKatherine Ryan - The AudacityEB White - LettersEB White - One Man's MeatKurt Vonnegut - God Bless You, Mr. RosewaterJohn Brandon - Ivory ShoalsPeter Ferry - Old HeartVendela Vida - We Run The TidesLorrie Moore - Who Will Run Frog HospitalLorrie Moore - Birds of AmericaRichard Russo - Straight ManNick Hornby - How To Be Good Hosted on Acast.
