In this final installment of my conversation with author and bookstore co-owner Lucas Mann, we talk about the books, writers, TV shows, music, and even dinners that are getting his wheels turning, including:

The book he recently read with his book club that got him excited about writing in new ways and that he couldn’t stop talking about

Why a long walk or bike ride can solve most problems

The two writers whose work and ways of being inspire him

The reality TV show he would forego sleep for weeks at a time if he could

The dad music he has embraced, the morning beverage he drinks until he feels ill, the recent book that kept him awake, and his favorite sushi restaurant
