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 Omera. And I'm Bria Grant filmmaker and E-Rader. This episode

we're taking off another box from the 2024 Reading Glasses Glasses

Glasses Glasses Challenge.

Mallory actually put that in the show notes,

just letting you know she put four glasses in the show notes.

Choose 10 books that represent you as a reader. Plus we're recommending character Ford thrillers.

But first, Briar, what are you reading?

You're gonna laugh at this.

I am listening to a book.

I just got a new dog, which is very exciting for me. She's so cute. I lost my dog last year. I didn't lose it or something like she right away. She died she died last year and I got another one through a wonderful rescue here in LA and I so I'm started listening to a

book called Inside of a dog what dogs see smell and know by Alexandra Horwitz.

Oh my god hell yeah I'm doing my research. Basically it's about this this

woman Alexandra Horowitz talks about both like the science behind like the way dogs

experience the world like for example like if your dog has like a high prey instinct and chases things, it actually probably sees movement more vividly than other dogs.

Like its eyes may physically be able to detect more movement.

It also talks about like, I've been listening to this part about wolves.

So wolves and dogs don't actually descend from wolves,

they both descend from different,

from the same thing, but they, but not together together does that make sense what I'm saying

and did you know dogs are some of the only species of animals that will look you in the

eye as like a sign of I like you instead of a sign of I'm gonna fight you
