“I could spend hours and days looking for a particular book, and not infrequently I discover I have more than one copy, I’ve discovered not only doubles, but triples, and in the worst case four copies of the same book on my shelf.”
In this episode of CTBB I talk with professor, polyglot, and book/word-lover, Paul Keim. We hear Paul’s opinions on the name of the podcast, stories of how he fell in love with language and books, why he loves memes, why reading/collecting books is elitist, and how it is the “knowledge-keeper’s” responsibility to share what they learn. It is a full, meandering, nerdy, and fun episode.
