It’s time for our year-end Virtual Memories Show tradition, now celebrating its tenth anniversary: The Guest List! I reached out to 2022’s pod-guests and asked them about the favorite book(s) they read in the past year, as well as the books or authors they’re hoping to read in 2023! Twenty-two guests responded with wonderful, idiosyncratic, and illuminating book recommendations: Jonathan Ames, Richard Butner, Howard Chaykin, Joe Ciardiello, Darryl Cunningham, Eva Hagberg, Kathe Koja, Ken Krimstein, Glenn Kurtz, W. David Marx, Dave McKean, Wallis Wilde-Menozzi, Jim Ottaviani, Celia Paul, Nicole Rudick, Jerry Saltz, Dmitry Samarov, David Sax, Ruth Scurr, Sebastian Smee, Peter Stothard, and Marina Warner (and me)! This great episode of The Virtual Memories Show offers up a huge list of books that you’re going to want to read in the new year, so give it a listen, and get ready to update your reading lists!
You can listen to The Guest List episode here, but if you visit our special Guest List 2022 page, you’ll find the list of all our respondents and all the books they cited (w/links!).
Also, go check out The Guest List archive page, which has links to all of the previous annual editions of The Guest List, dating back to 2013!
