Happy Solstice!
As we do every December solstice it's time for our 7th Annual "Best Of" episode of 3 Books.
3 Books is our 22-year-long conversation to uncover and discuss the 1000 most formative books in the world.
This year we sat with academics at Oxford to bus drivers in St. Louis, with Jonathan Franzen in Santa Cruz to Oliver Burkeman in the North York Moors, with the world's largest bookseller and Amazon union organizers, with Oscar nominees to a guy who dresses up all day as as a duck.
This year I've changed tack and made the "Best Of" highly concentrated—under 50 minutes long!—with little snippets from our diverse guests to provide reflection, provoke your thinking, and help to set intentions for 2025 and beyond.
Thank you for being a 3 Booker and spending time with this incredible community of book lovers spread across the world.
Let’s stop to reflect and then keep enjoying the ride....
