I'm afraid so.

I'm just looking for information.

Yeah.

So we're good with that.

I mean, you can feel about it however you want, but your answer is not going to disappoint us.

No.

Would you say more about that?

And I did notice you say twice regarding Dead Wake and then we were chatting before we hit record that how a story is told and how the author unspools the information and how it's structured.

Like these things really matter to you.

They do.

It's not just like, tell me a good story to take me away.

There's more than that that you're looking for, which is true for many readers.

I'm thinking of how

When Will and I both read in the same season Into Thin Air by John Krakauer.

Have you read that?

Okay.

So I was just thinking that'd be an amazing adventure story for your list.

Well, the book is dedicated to those who died on the mountain that season.

And I was constantly flipping back and forth with the dedication because I wanted to know the fates of the people I was reading about.

Will didn't do it that way.
