Feature Friday with David Temple & Sean O’Rourke

“So many books, so little time.” Frank Zappa

2021:20

This might just be me, but I’ve often thought, the best reason to integrate a computer with my brain is so I could read 100 books a day.  But then I think, that would defeat the whole purpose of the experience.  While I don’t read as many physical books as I used to (Kindle & audio predominate), turning pages is still a joyful accomplishment.

David Temple and I met in 1996.  Our friendship grew over talks about books, movies, TV, music, writing, etc., etc., etc.  So there’s no one I wanted to kick off the Top 10 List of Did You Know That? episodes than him.  David, being the author of many a novel, gets books.

Our lists are below (the episode highlights why we chose these).  Let us know if any these would make your list or put your own list in the comments.

You can learn all about David and his works via the various channels below.  His latest novel, “The Impostor,” will be released on July 1, 2021.
