Shelf Life
Shelf Life is a show about books and the people who love them. In each episode, we invite a celebrated bibliophile (think Alan Cumming, John Waters, and Joyce Maynard) to select two of their favorite books, and then we chat about them, drawing connections between their lit choices and their lives and careers.

Grand Journal
In the quiet hush of winter, there's a particular inclination to fold into the pages of unexplored narratives. Since Shelf Life paused its pulse last summer, I've wandered through a constellation of worlds chosen by a new group of celebrated bibliophiles, including the actor Dylan Baker, the finance guru Ramit Sethi, and new voices in fiction like Ada Zhang and Ben Purkett. Stay tuned to find out what books they think you should read.
