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 Brea Grant, filmmaker, and e-reader.

Ooh, this is a spicy episode.

Uh-oh.

We're debating whether or not you should lie in your book tracker.

Wow.

And I actually think Mallory and I may disagree about this, by the way.

So get ready for a hearty debate.

Plus, we test out a wooden book stand that Mallory loves.

And I'm giving back to her.

And recommending books with complex political systems.

First, Brea, what are you reading?

I'm double-timing.

I'm reading and listening to because...

Double-timing.

My book club is read...

Two weeks in a row, I'm talking about my book club.

My book club is reading Nosferatu by Joe Hill.

Oh.

Which starts off in my hometown, Haverill, Massachusetts. I actually was going to mention that to you. Yes, it does. I've actually never read this one of his, which I love Joe Hill. Huge Joe Hill fan. And this one I just happened to have never read. So I'm excited that we picked it. Yeah, so we're doing, I'm reading it both physically, but then I'm also listening to it because our book club is in one week and I just started it. And it is a very

long book. It's a hunker. It's a thick boy. Let me see. It's almost 700 pages. Yeah, it's a big one. Also, the other thing is I watched the show. Weirdly, I've only read the book. I've never watched the show. Okay, so I didn't know how close it's...
