Ever look up at the stars and wonder, what's out there?

On shortwave we ask big questions about our universe.

From baby galaxies to the search for alien life,

we explore the celestial Science behind these questions.

Listen now to the Shortwave Podcast from NPR. You're going to. Hello and welcome to Cara Talk from National Public Radio with us

Click and Clack The Tappett Brothers and we're broadcasting this week

from the tow truck driver's guide to great literature here at Car Talk Plaza.

This is a whole new department.

It is indeed.

I mean, those of you who like to read probably

find out about good books the same way that I do. I go into someone's bathroom and I

start reading the book and I get interested I say hey can I borrow this? This is

after they've been banging on the door for our come on out man

so wait a minute I only got four more chapters right.

Well to help our listeners answer the ever-present question what should I read next

we are launching the tow truck driver's guide to great literature.

Yeah. This is an area on our website where you can recommend a great book you've read to other

car talk fans or you can browse and see what other people have been reading and are recommending.

Right, and if you don't want to get on the website, forget about the website, mail it to us,

just send it in a snail mail, you know, write down something and send it to us.

We just want to know, what did you read and how did you like it?

Now, we're not trying to compete with the New York Times review of books or anything like that.
