Gayle and Nicole talk to Ron Charles, book critic for The Washington Post‘s Book World, about many aspects of his reading life, from the genres he prefers to the way he structures his reading day and the books he found way overrated. We also ask the questions we’ve always wanted to know, such as who opens the 150 pieces of book mail that arrive at the Post every day.
You can find Ron’s Totally Hip Book Review Videos here.
