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:
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about bombs or the intelligence quotients of one race as against another ... if a man is a scientist, like me, he’ll always say “Publish and be damned.””
—Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)
“A book should long for pen, ink, and writing-table: but usually it is pen, ink, and writing-table that long for a book. That is why books are so negligible nowadays.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
