This episode of BookShook is all about the first half of The Machine Stops (up to Part 2 ‘the Mending Apparatus) by, EM Forster, first published in 1928.
In the podcast, I take a book, split it in two, and discuss each half in consecutive shows. I’ll briefly summarise the half alongside my thoughts and reactions and raise any ideas that resonated with me. But be warned - there will be spoilers - but in this episode only up to halfway. I’d love to share your thoughts on the book so send an an email to bookshook @yahoo.com. Also, let me know if any book suggestions you may have. Welcome to BookShook”
Next books on my ‘to read’ list:
The Death of Ivan Ilyich
