So check him out, Andrew Martin, all of his early work and then Cool for America short story collection and Downtime is his latest.

Speaking of people that come into my store and tell me that they have books coming out.

Years ago, we did a book with Benoit Denison Lewis and it was called Travels with Casey.

It was about his dog and he took a trip around the country, a solo road trip with his golden retriever after a breakup.

And it was a beautiful story where he interviews people along

the trip and he just gets to know, you know, people and their dog relationships too.

And we did this lovely event where Casey was actually at the event, the dog, and it was so special.

That was maybe 10 years ago now.

Benoit has a new book coming out now called You've Changed, where he has just interviewed the most interesting people.

He's a journalist.

He writes for the New York Times Magazine.

He's a lovely human being.

David Sheff said about it that it's endlessly thought-provoking and inspiring.

And it's true.

It's about we all change, right?

And people...

You can hear it in fiction, but this is a really cool nonfiction, just interviews of people who have really changed their lives in profoundly different ways.

And those shifts, I don't know, it felt for me that I think it makes us all unafraid to change our lives a little bit when we know other people have done that.

A book that I got really excited about a couple of years ago, it's called Dirtbag Massachusetts by Isaac Fitzgerald.

And he actually grew up the same place where I'm from, which is North Central Massachusetts.
