Welcome to Reading Lives, an interview podcast with interesting people who love books. My guest this week is Nina
MacLaughlin. A classics major and former editor of The Boston Phoenix,
Nina quit her desk job to become a carpenter. She tells the story of
why and how she made such a drastic career change in her new book, Hammer Head.
In this episode, we talk classics, books about building things, how
boring it is to build bookshelves, and much more. This episode is
sponsored by Scribd and The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkowski.
It was such a pleasure rapping with Jeff O’Neal of Book Riot about books I’ve loved. Any conversation in which I get to gush about Madeleine L’Engle, Maggie Nelson, Anne Carson and a bunch of other gods and goddesses in my writer pantheon is a bigtime pleasure. Give it a listen.
