If you’re NPR fanatics like all of us here at I Love Libraries, you were most likely overjoyed to hear Mychal Threets on its news quiz show, “Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me!,” this weekend.

Did Mychal win the challenge? You’ll have to listen to find out. But in the meantime, here’s a brief exchange between show host Peter Sagal and Threets where they discuss reading traumatizing books as kids.
