Welcome to our podcast of WORDS TO GO, in which Carole offers a few literary laughs to lighten up a season chock full of weird book news. Better duck: US President Obama dodges a flying paperback while ex-president Bush gets set to launch an e-book. Laugh out loud with the writing of humorist Steve Pitt, and enjoy our book recommendation -- an eloquent short work by Mary Swan. We'd love to hear from you, so send us your published work and your book picks. You can find us on Facebook or visit Carole's website at www.carolegiangrande.com.
