What should Tyler Cowen ask me?
I'm going on his podcast
Tyler and I will soon record an episode of Conversations with Tyler. He writes:
We will focus on our mutual readings of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, with Henry taking the lead. But I also will ask him about the value of literature, Jane Austen, Adam Smith, Bleak House, his book on late bloomers, and more.
Let us know in the comments what Tyler should ask me. (Or what I should ask him!)
I am really looking forward to this one.
The topics mentioned are all great. I would like some additional probing of your impressions on America as a relatively new resident.
What makes you give up reading a novel? (I ask because I just finished Vanity Fair, and in seeking out if you've said anything about it here I see you mention you stopped as it seemed too long. Why in that case, why in others?)
