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 Barry Grant, filmmaker, and e-reader.

This episode, we're taking off another box on the 2025 reading Glasses, Glasses, Glasses,

Chalance.

Honk honk!

We're reading a honker.

That's a book that's very long.

Plus, we offer advice about attending specialty book events and recommend books that feature

loving friends and family.

But first, Brea, what are you reading?

I am reading the new John Scalzi.

Woo! So exciting. I talked about John Scalzi last week on the show. I'm about to talk about him later in this show. Listen, we love John Scalzi. Maybe I'm the number one. He's a friend of the show. We love John Scalzy. I know a lot of the glasses were reading this book. It is called When the moon hits your eye.

And are you aware

what this book is about?

No.

I actually didn't know

and I started reading it

and one day the moon is suddenly very bright in the sky. And everyone's like, what is going on? And it turns out that suddenly it is made of cheese. That's what the book is about. I love John Scalzi so fucking much. John Scalzi is having a great time in life.

That's all I'm going to say.

And because of that, the moon has gotten, it's the same amount of mass.

So like, you know.
