For several years, panelists have gathered on Wednesday nights on KZUM 89.3 FM to discuss contemporary and classic literature. As described on the radio station's internet page, "Booktalk on KZUM 89.3 is a variety show about books and stories on KZUM, Lincoln’s community radio station. Booktalkers are the people who love to read and love to talk about what we read. We interview authors, review best sellers and classics, read excerpts, and talk about the Web sites that book lovers are haunting." Various library staff have served as guests or hosts of these literary discussions at various times. New episodes air every Wednesday evening at 6:30 local time.The following is a partial listing of books discussed on episodes of Booktalk during 2005, based on the information currently available. We will attempt to fill in the gaps in this listing as additional information is made available to us.
