97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Wednesday morning, Chapel Hill Public Library director Susan Brown joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “Talking Books,” a weekly segment of book recommendations, of all genres and for all ages. (Susan also heads up Chapel Hill’s Community Arts and Culture department, so they’ll often talk about upcoming festivals and other cultural events as well.)

Click here to listen back to the full Talking Books archive – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” Wednesday mornings at 8:30 on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.


Aaron’s back from New York, where he saw “Sleep No More,” an immersive-theater adaptation of “Macbeth.” What other books would make good immersive-theater experiences? Filling in for Susan, Victor Lewis (also a Sleep No More fan) thinks about science fiction, while Aaron mines the world of classic children’s literature.
