Chad and Tom drop a number of recommendations for Women in Translation month, some that they’ve read, some that they’re planning on reading. They also discuss possible infographics that Three Percent can produce over the course of the month (if you have any other suggestions, please email), and discuss Chad’s new plan to try and review 20 books without knowing the author, translator, publisher, title, etc. Plus: Tom has some words for people who don’t tip on coffee drinks.<\/p>\n
