James Boswell · 1934
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“I want to talk about – I'm going to read about – I want to talk about a quote you have from Boswell. It's Life of Johnson. It's about Johnson's view of reading.”
Why: The host finds the ideas about reading with inclination to be fascinating.
