So we’re watching The Daily Show, and the guest is This American Life regular John Hodgeman, plugging his book, The Areas of My Expertise. I said “I really want to read that book.” My darling says, “Of course you do, he’s on This American Life. You like books by anyone on This American Life.” I sputtered and protested, but he’s right. So if Marti Noxon writes a book, I’ll read that, too. She’s the first story on the Getting and Spending episode of This American Life.

And from this anecdote, you can guess what sort of things I like.
