Take Your Book Outside

They discuss Bekah Waalkes' perspective on the benefits of outdoor reading despite its challenges, then highlight two books: Nettie Jones' "Fish Tales," a cultural masterpiece about life in 1970s Detroit, and Andrew Fedorov's exploration of hitchhiking as a way to connect with others.
