À propos de ce contenu audio
When Dan Pelzer passed away at 92, his daughter discovered something extraordinary — a handwritten log of every book he had read since 1962. All 3,599 of them. She turned it into a website and shared it at his funeral via QR code, and the reading community hasn't stopped talking about it since.
In this Brief Encounters episode, Desiree and Morgan dig into Dan's story and the bigger questions it raises: What do the books we read say about who we are? Are there books that feel permanently stamped to specific seasons of your life? And has a book ever actually changed the way you live?
In this episode:
- The viral reading log that made us both emotional
- Books that timestamp your life — Twilight, Harry Potter release nights, a box of Goosebumps from a yard sale
- The DNF debate: is it okay to abandon a book?
- The return of analog habits and why they're good for your nervous system
- We build our dopamine menus live 🍽️
- Honorable mention reads: Evelyn Clarke and Yesteryear
