Some mail delays put off this episode, but woo boy, the book was worth the wait for M! This episode not so much...
But anyway, today, M wants to talk about an important kind of book. She calls it "The Gateway Book," as an adapted term from one of her English teachers. Can a book be so good that it can convince you to get back into reading a certain type of book? The answer is obviously, yes.
