We want to be praise, we want to be praiseworthy,

I want to get a candle.

I'm Antelope Duckworth.

I'm Stephen Dobner.

And you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, why do we forget some of our favorite books?

Stephen, I've been thinking about a conversation that we had about a tree grows in Brooklyn.

about it.

Yes, so I thought you might have even forgotten the conversation about how I had forgotten.

But anyway, my point is that it's a really interesting thing that people can read books

that they absolutely love.

So much that they're like evangelical.

They're trying to get everyone to read this book.
