Booknotes

I've watched it occasionally, but my well-read parents are big fans of CNN's Booknotes. Now, the entire Booknotes archives through November 2004 is available on-line in manuscript. If you want to watch stream video, 500 of the 800 shows are here, too. Lots of interesting subjects, many of them of timeless interest.

Note: I couldn't get the videos to work. The stream video might have to be purchased; I'm not sure. The transcripts are free, though.
