The book was very conversational. I prefer reading a more disciplined style of writing for nonfiction. I did not learn anything new from this reading. Almost all I had read in other readings.

How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read

Book Favorite

"Its bathroom-reading title belies this astonishing, hilarious analysis of reading, memory, shame and the everyday fraud of shared experience — the illusion of consensus that is the glue of our conversational social contract. Written by a drolly self-effacing French professor of literature."

Book Favorite

"Like lots of people, I really love Roxane Gay. This is one of my favorite essay collections I’ve read in the past five to ten years. She’s really good at conversational writing that’s also academic and intelligent and funny. After #MeToo there’s a lot of introspection, and people need to analyze themselves and see what feminist they’ll be. There’s no perfect feminist."

Doesn't help with conversational ability (0 more)
I love this app! I took Spanish in high school and college. This has helped me to brush up on it. It definitely helps with your writing and reading ability but it doesn't really help when it comes to actually speaking with someone else. An app can't really do that but overall it's definitely a good app to learn with.

Criminally Madcap
Two British teachers discuss true crimes and the insanity that surrounds them, with a twist of wry British humour, sarcastic barbs sharp enough to have sunk the Titanic, and a sprinkling of anecdotes that will leave you thinking that teachers must be some of the bravest people on Earth.
Not as slick as most of the American podcasts you will come across, but charming enough that you really don't mind.
