"Listen...to Nancy Pearl talking about books." Isn't this like Luke Skywalker listening to Yoda? The master, indeed.
Nancy Pearl is an exception to Neal Wyatt's rule about keeping book talks short and sweet. No 15-second book talks here! But it's so fun to listen to her talk about books--or read her writing about books; not only did I listen to the podcast, I also read the article she wrote on NPR. She really has a knack for talking about books in a way that makes the listener (or reader) want to go and grab the book. She seems to hit on appeal characteristics that are popular and delivers her book reviews with enthusiasm...all good things to remember for those of us who are still honing our skills as reader advisors.
