Thank you all for your great questions!

I really enjoyed answering them. We cover a lot of fun ground. Everything from separating writers from their work, why people don't like Shakespeare and Tolstoy, what I think of J. K. Rowling and Harry Potter, mindfulness-based approaches to reading poetry, deep-reading strategies for writers, managing multiple book reads, using literature for language learning, film adaptations of Anna Karenina and Crime and Punishment, Freudian guilt, and more.

Q&A Timestamps:

  • 2:00 can you separate the author from their work?
  • 17:40 what do you think of the Harry Potter series?
  • 22:57 how do you manage multiple simultaneous book reads?
  • 25:47 how do you approach poetry?
  • 30:00 how can reading deeply help me become a better writer?
  • 39:45 how has your experience reading Anna Karenina in Russian been?
  • 42:11 do you know any good film adaptations of Crime and Punishment?
  • 44:22 comments on the Freudian sense of guilt

Thank you for watching, listening, and reading along!

Another great AMA episode! I like the watch party idea, so definitely count me in. My only concern is the possibility of the video being laggy or having choppy audio as can sometimes happen on Zoom via screen-sharing, but there might be other platforms for which a watch party is more suitable.

Thank you, Fiona. Ah, yes. I think there may be a "watch party" feature on Amazon I am keen to explore which should cut the lagging out. But this is definitely something I'm keen to put together :)

I know this conversation has long past, but for anyone who is curious regarding the research around multitasking-I would say that I don't think that reading multiple books would induce the "residual attention" effect unless you were reading them back-to-back. So, I will read "heavier material" during the day; switching from say the book we are reading here, research articles, etc., then later that evening, when I'm tired, I read something lighter or a reread (even two). I hope that helps! If anyone knows otherwise and you run across this comment, I'd love to hear about it!
