Topics
Madelyn Krasinski: 我是一位小学图书管理员,也是一位情绪化的读者,阅读选择会受到我当时情绪的影响。我喜欢阅读当代言情小说、家庭伦理小说和纪实文学等,有时会陷入‘兔子洞’式阅读,有时会陷入阅读的‘粘性陷阱’。我最近读的三本五星好评的书都是非虚构类书籍,分别是《窃贼》、《魔法过度思考时代》和《蒙娜丽莎的消失》。《窃贼》讲述了一个艺术品大盗的故事,他盗窃艺术品并非为钱,而是出于对艺术的热爱,这引发了我对艺术和人类心理的思考。《魔法过度思考时代》这本书探讨了信息过载导致的过度思考问题,并引发了我对认知偏差和思维方式的思考,这本书让我对自己的过度思考行为有了更深的理解。《蒙娜丽莎的消失》是一本面向青少年的非虚构类书籍,讲述了蒙娜丽莎被盗事件及其影响,这让我对艺术史和社会现象有了新的认识。我不喜欢《狂怒》这本书,因为它使用了不可靠的叙述者,这让我感到不舒服。我正在读《水月》,这本书的氛围和《无星之海》很像,它讲述了一个发生在平行宇宙东京的故事,充满了神秘和奇幻色彩。我即将进行一次大峡谷之旅,我希望阅读一些关于美国西部的书籍,为这次旅行做准备。 Anne Bogle: 我是一位播客主持人,我的书《别过度思考》提供实用建议,帮助读者克服过度思考,减少犹豫不决,提升生活乐趣。我了解Madelyn的阅读习惯和偏好,并根据她的需求推荐了一些书籍,包括Kevin Fedarko的《公园漫步》和《翡翠英里》,Stephen Hurst的《我是大峡谷》,Michael Patrick Giglieri和Thomas Myers的《悬崖边缘:大峡谷中的死亡》,以及Laura Pritchett的《三把钥匙》。这些书籍涵盖了大峡谷的历史、文化、自然景观以及人类活动等方面,可以帮助Madelyn更好地了解大峡谷,为她的旅行做好准备。我还推荐了一些其他书籍,例如Melissa L. Savigny的《勇敢地挑战狂野河流》,以及Wallace Stegner的《超越第一百经线》,这些书籍可以帮助Madelyn更深入地了解大峡谷的历史和文化。

Shownotes Transcript

Today's guest is a mood reader who often finds herself falling down a reading rabbit hole.

Madelyn Kresinske is an elementary school librarian, wife, and mom who reads widely from middle-grade and picture books to romance, family dramas, and more.

Madelyn doesn't hate her pattern of falling into sometimes a rut, sometimes she actually quite enjoys it, but it can also be tough to break out and figure out which title to read next. She and Anne discuss that struggle today before changing their focus to Madelyn's upcoming road trip to the Grand Canyon and other National Parks.

Madelyn would love both fiction and non-fiction titles that will captivate her attention while also getting her ready for this big trip. Anne has so many ideas for her! Around here we think that the National Park Service is one of our nation's best ideas, and in addition to being super crowded the past few years they're now grappling with staffing issues. If you can't make to a park in person this summer for whatever reason, we think you'll especially enjoy today's show.

Please let us know if you have recommendations for Madelyn by leaving a comment on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/468), where you'll also see the full list of titles mentioned.

This week also marks the fifth anniversary of Anne's book *Don't Overthink It. *This book is full of practical ideas on how to tame your inner questioner, stop second-guessing yourself, and bring more joy to your life. If your thinking feels repetitive, unhealthy, or unhelpful, if you're stuck in a cycle of what-ifs plagued by indecision or paralyzed by fear of getting it wrong, or if you could just use a boost of happy in your everyday rhythms, Don't Overthink It) is for you. Pick up a copy at your favorite local or online bookseller.
