In this episode, we talk about Liesel Meminger, aka the book thief, and how she discovers that books and words help her to find a way to cope through the brutal Nazi Germany. We also have a little bit of a different discussion, in that we talk about our favorite quotes, excerpts that we felt had great significance, and our favorite characters.

After our success with “The Alchemist”, we opted to take it up even further with Jane Austen’s classic, “Pride and Prejudice”. Although this novel proved more difficult, we still had a good time discussing what we could and breaking down what worked and didn’t work for us.
