PBS has recently released a two-part special called The Great American Read, hosted by Meredith Vieira and filled with interviews and sound bites from well-known authors and readers on the hundred novels that America loves best. This week on the show, Annie and Chris give their takes on the list. Also, goat or beaver? Please take just a minute to fill out our short survey. PBS's list can be found here.  You can watch the special through your local PBS affiliate here.  Thanks, as always, to Forlorn Strangers for the use of our theme music. Learn and listen more here.
