Hello. I’m Bob Seay, author of the book Dad, and this is the HPPR Radio Readers Book Club.Books, especially a book like What’s So Funny: A Cartoonist’s Memoir by David Sipress, are both windows and mirrors. -
I’m Bob Seay and this is another Book Byte from High Plains Public Radio. I’ve been reading The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America by Bill Bryson. I selected this book because I’ve enjoyed other books by Bill Bryson. -
I’m Bob Seay and this is a Radio Readers BookByte from High Plains Public Radio. I’ve been reading Sarah Vowell’s book, The Wordy Shipmates. This is the story of the Puritans who settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 17th century, the values that brought them across the Atlantic to the New World, and how those values continue to affect America today. -
I’m Bob Seay. This is the third of three HPPR book byte commentaries I’ve made about “Running with Sherman,” by Christopher McDougall.Sherman is more than a story of the little donkey that could. McDougall immerses his readers in the world of competitive burro racing, a sport I never even knew existed before I read this. -
I’m Bob Seay with another book byte from High Plains Public Radio. This segment is the second of three commentaries on the book, “Running with Sherman,” by Christopher McDougall. -
Welcome to HPPR Book Bytes. I’m Bob Seay. This is the first of three commentaries I’ll be doing about “Running with Sherman: How a Rescue Donkey Inspired a Rag-tag Gang of Runners to Enter the Craziest Race in America” by Christopher McDougall. The title says it all, or at least as much as you can say in twenty words and still have room to mention the author’s previous best-selling book on the cover. -
I’m Bob Seay and this is another HPPR Radio Readers Book Byte. I’ve been reading Bewilderment, a novel by Richard Powers. On its surface, Bewilderment is a father-son story set in a framework of science fiction. But, like all good science fiction, it is the human themes that make the story work. -
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants was written by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a Native American author, biologist, and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Kimmer has also written a workbook to go with Braiding Sweetgrass and a young adult version with the same message as the original book.
