You're listening to Reading Glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed

to help you read better.

I'm author and book devour, Mallory O'Mara, and I'm Bria Grant, filmmaker and e-reader.

This episode, we're talking reading speeds.

Are you a fast or slow reader?

Doesn't matter.

What are the benefits to both?

What do you read, Bria?

I finished a book that I really enjoyed by an author I like.

Everyone on this show knows I really like Cassandra Rose Clark.

I wrote a book, I'll forget this ever happened, that I'm a big fan of, but I also read her

other book, or another one of her books, called The Mad Scientist's Daughter, which came

out a few years ago at 2013, and it is about a young girl, and her dad is a scientist,

and she's given a tutor, and this is that sometime in the future, and he is an Android,

and he teaches her and is a really great tutor, but as she gets older, she starts to realize

that maybe she's in love with this Android, and, yeah, there's some steamy scenes in

this book.

I was.

Is it like Vicentennial, ma'am?

You know what?

I don't know.

Is that in the movie?
