So, Eric, I think we know each other well enough for me to say that you kind of sound like

the eight-year-old who only wants to eat chicken tenders.

That sounds really mean, doesn't it?

No, let me try that again.

Hey everyone, I'm Ann Bogall and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 42.

Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.

What should I read next?

We don't get bossy on this show.

What we will do here is give you the information you need to choose your next read.

Every week we'll talk all things books and reading and do a little literary matchmaking with one guest.

I'm so happy to welcome Eric Fisher to the show today.

He's a productivity podcaster, speaker, and coach and host of the wonderful podcast Beyond the To-Do List,

which was one of the first podcasts I ever listened to.

On his show, Eric talks with real people about all aspects of productivity,

which means not just getting work done, but also living a good life.

Eric's also a big reader, and in this episode we talk about how he's made the switch back to paper books,

how he hates to waste time on bad books, and of course what he should read next.

Let's get to it.

Eric, welcome to the show.

Thank you. This is an honor, a privilege, and well other things, anyway.

Well, it's great to have you.

Okay, so we first connected because of your own podcast Beyond the To-Do List.
