Ep. 1 Talking Books with Dallas Lopez
On this week of The Stacks we talk with High School English Teacher, Dallas Lopez. He tells us about how he used to hate reading, and how self-help books helped him to find his way into reading. We discuss books that Dallas loves, and books he doesn't, and books that at one point or another fit in both categories.
This week you'll get to know Dallas before next week's The Stacks Book Club conversation about Exit West by Moshin Hamid.
