Talking Books was a Canadian radio program, which aired on CBC Radio One. Hosted by Ian Brown, the program was a discussion on books and literature. It was the only books show on CBC Radio that had critical discussions of books, as well as identifying trends, in writing. The program was cancelled in 2008, in order to find a place for The Next Chapter, hosted by Shelagh Rogers.
Famous quotes containing the words talking and/or books:
“One cannot imagine St. Francis of Assisi talking about rights.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“There is a sort of homely truth and naturalness in some books which is very rare to find, and yet looks cheap enough. There may be nothing lofty in the sentiment, or fine in the expression, but it is careless country talk. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art. Some have this merit only.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
