Maria Semple

Okay.

Which is Go Gentle by Maria Semple.

A recent pick.

Yes.

So that's a great time.

Uh, and now that I've gone on and on about that for a while, I don't have to go on about Go Gentle by Maria Semple, 'cause that's already-

Yes

... been talked about.

Okay.

My second book is Go Gentle by Maria Semple.

So I was excited to bring this one because, you know, there's been some buzz about this book, quite a bit of buzz.

You probably know Maria Semple, everyone, from Where'd You Go, Bernadette.

And Go Gentle, which was out in April, was an Oprah's Book Club pick, so you can't really get much bigger than that.

So this book is about Adora Hazard, what a name, who is a divorced stoic philosopher living on Manhattan's Upper West Side with her teenage daughter.

Like, I rated it 4.25, but I also had heard what this book was about before.

And usually I don't like that, but here I think it's important.

I'm more of a fiction person.

Um, other books I've really enjoyed over the summer, Go Gentle by Maria Semple, which is ...

She did, um, Where'd You Go, Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

Oh, yes.

Go Gentle-

Go Gentle

... by Maria Semple.

How do you come across it?

And, uh, let's get into it.

There's someone else we both know, uh, Maria Semple.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.
