Ep 327: Brilliant books that ask big questions
Manage episode 326018527 series 1595529
Today's guest is both an avid leisure reader and a professional word nerd.
Gary Robinaugh has always been fascinated with the role language plays in our lives. His career studying Aphasia—a language disorder caused by a specific type of brain damage—explores the relationship between thought, language, and communication, and he's equally fascinated by these themes outside of the office.
Gary grew up in a reading home with a heavy helping of science fiction, a genre he still enjoys for its unique ability to ask “what if?", but he also loves reading outside of this genre. Today, he's looking for some titles that will help him explore new ideas and fresh perspectives.
Anne gives Gary some recommendations that speak directly to what he's looking for, as well as some suggestions that might just surprise him.
