Daniel Silva: Commercial Fiction with Depth

This is our final episode of the year on Open Book, and I wanted to slow things down for a moment and take stock of what we’ve built together. Over the past year, we sat down with extraordinary authors, historians, thinkers, and storytellers—people who spent years wrestling with ideas so we could absorb them in hours. This episode is a reflection on those conversations, the books that shaped them, and why reading remains one of the highest-return investments you can make in your own life.
