If I had the time, I would love to write and produce a very personal about .

I’ve been on a mission, for a few years now, to read the top twenty or so most important, most influential works of world . Fiction top ten, plus non-fiction top ten. Because the meta-ranking I use as a reference updates regularly with new rankings published and with slight improvements to the algorithm, in going through the list I’m actually getting closer to reading the top forty books.

Each (short) episode would focus on one book: I would share my review, read some passages I highlighted, and my explain why the book is (or isn’t) that important and how it affected me personally.

Thoughts?

@tripu I would subscribe to that podcast so fast your head would spin.

Too bad I can’t fit anything like that in my schedule any time soon… 😞

@tripu
Since you're already thinking about it, I'd suggest to record short audios with your thoughts. Then, whenever you have enough audio files about a book, edit them and combine them in a podcast episode.

Maybe the combination of a recording app with noise cancellation, plus some desktop editing that removes even more noise and equalizes the volume, could be enough. So you could record the audios wherever you are.

That’s a good idea, thanks!

The problem is, I tend to use lots of resources when I write anything (dictionaries, Wikipedia, my own public posts or private notes…). It’d be difficult for me to say anything of substance about these books from memory, without writing a polished script first… But it might work, to some extent!
