Ian't wait for each Monday to listen to this podcast on my morning runs! BUT, (CAPITALISED FOR ATTENTION) you know what would be fabtaticoulsly and woderrificully full of the sauce that is awesomeness....??? That if there was a book list somewhere we can get our hands on that lists all the mount Rushmore Books recommended by each guest on the podcast. i always hear some great recommendations but by the time I'm done with my run I'm on to other things and before you know it all is lost..lol... I know I could go back and look at the details of each podcast but I always forget who it was that had it or which one recommend which book. I would be eternally and extrinsically full of the greatfull sauce if this mysteriously and wonderfully made an appearance in this world of existence of which we are currently undertaking it's conundrums. Thanks for your thoughtful considerations of these brain thingies I have delivered to you this day. spread the sauce...be the sauce.... :D Ed B
