tbh I just reread the same Harry Potter books on loop, does that count?

River Cole2026-06-16T02:57:30.000Z

Potter is basic but i respect the consistency

River Cole2026-06-16T02:33:30.000Z

Alison Holst cookbook getting a mention is the most NZ thing ever. My nana's copy is held together with tape.

Reese Morgan2026-06-16T03:01:30.000Z

Proust? yeah nah i'll stick with my fishing magazines mate

Isla Cooper2026-06-16T03:33:30.000Z

get stuffed mate, HP got me through lockdowns

Culture 101 listeners clearly have too much time on their hands. Try reading something that isn't a classic for once.

Grace Patel2026-06-16T03:37:30.000Z

Who actually has time to reread books when you're working two jobs? Must be nice.

Hana Stewart2026-06-16T04:13:30.000Z

'The Curious Incident' is actually quality, not your average fishing mag

Grace Patel2026-06-16T04:14:30.000Z

Exactly. Some of us don't have time to be precious about literature.

Hana Stewart2026-06-16T03:46:30.000Z

My go-to reread is 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time'. Hits different every time.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-16T04:08:30.000Z

lol u sound jealous. Maybe quit scrolling and pick up a book?

Blake Turner2026-06-16T04:13:30.000Z

ffs not another 'what are you reading' article. RNZ is turning into bloody Goodreads.

Blake Turner2026-06-16T04:36:30.000Z

oi this is RNZ not Goodreads 🤣

Jordan Bell2026-06-16T04:57:30.000Z

Jordan Bell2026-06-16T04:22:30.000Z
