Ah...the smell of a new book. There’s thrill and excitement and anticipation in that intoxicating ink and paper smell.
Laurie Brown claims she is “a freak about post-it notes - whenever I see an idea that intrigues me, a fact that astounds me, or a beautiful question that I want to spend more time thinking about, I slam a post-it note on the page with a scrawl about what delighted me.” A physical representation of her own curiosity.
In the latest episode of Pondercast, Laurie explores both curiosity and books, but mostly the life force that is curiosity. It is something that needs nurturing and protection because it is vulnerable.
