It's November, that time of year it seems everyone in my life has a birthday. Not only did I celebrate mine on the 7th, but both my wife and guest Reissa Ress and author of March's bestseller, Min Jin Lee, celebrated theirs as well. Reissa and I take a look a step back in time to the month when Furthermore was getting off the ground and we recorded a practice episode on this National Book Award Nominated bestseller. On this updated and re-recorded version, Reissa and I discuss Pachinko vs. My Brilliant Friend, why books are better than movies and TV, why she's a "hype" reader and whether or not we would delve or shelve this 2017 bestseller that still moves at the store even into late 2019. 

Thanks to Reissa for gracing Furthermore and thank you for listening! Remember to find us on Instagram, @furthermorepodcast and go check out Furthermore artist Max Farinato at maxfarinato.com.Happy Thanksgiving to all of my listeners in the United States! Travel safe this holiday season and don't forget to pack a good book (or 2 in case you're afraid you'll finish the first. Yes you have space for it, don't worry.)Keep Reading!
