John Starke is a fun interviewer, who asks questions like: Who would win in a literary cage match: Fyodor Dostoevsky or Charles Dickens? Dorothy Day or Flannery O’Connor? Mortimer Adler or Alan Jacobs? Jane Austen or P. G. Wodehouse? C. S. Lewis or G. K. Chesterton?
I am a boring interviewer.
You can read John’s interview with Tony Reinke on his excellent new book, Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books.
Or you can watch me asking Tony some questions below:
0:14 – Tony’s desire for the book
1:22 – What kind of books should I be reading? (6 Priorities for determining what to read)
3:17 – Creating time to read
5:10 – Tips for growing as a reader
7:21 – The value of fiction
9:08 – The theological importance of reading
