A 15-minute bonus episode in which Kaisha obsesses over the booker longlist and discusses her reading strategy for this overambitious goal with the determination of Napoleon riding into battle, her marriage bookshelf as a portrait of the state of her marriage, and the importance of reading books outside of her normal reading patterns.
