Books for Breakfast is a consistently lovely listen. The warmth you both offer is so comforting as is the knowledge you both possess about literature/ poetry and about the work of your guests. I enjoy the humour around the timing of the toaster. Your discussion with Andrew Miller was, for me, enhanced by what seemed such genuine affection between yourselves and Andrew Miller. I appreciate you had shared the world of Dublin for 18 months. I have his book, Land in Winter, awaiting my attention. I have drawn so much from others amongst his books and was particularly admiring of Pure. I was so pleased that he chose James Salter whose writing I have also admired. It was good to know I have something in common with such a fine writer. Thanks for the joy you provide through your podcast. Charlie
