    “It’s changing the way that I’m reading,” says Josh Christie, a bookseller at Sherman’s Books in Freeport, Maine. He’s talking about The Lifespan of a Fact, a new book by John D’Agata (the author) and Jim Fingal (the fact checker). 

    Listen to Josh, take a look at this sample page to get a visual of what he’s talking about, and mark your calendar for 2/27/12, the date we’re going to drop this “subversive” book in a bookstore near you.

    This recording is a short excerpt from the excellent Bookrageous podcast (yes, they’re on Tumblr). Bookrageous is what you should be listening to in order to answer the age old question: what should I read next?
