Reading Envy 036: The Reader Sense of Ann VanderMeer

The Reading Envy pub moves around, and this time it was down in a hidden room accessible only by elevator. I met up with Ann VanderMeer, editor, anthologist, and reader extraordinaire. We talked about her work, what she reads for pleasure, and a little about the program for teens that brings her to South Carolina every year. Come discover her supreme reader sense!
