I Want My Book TV: Sunday, July 16, 2006
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 07.14.06 | 3:49 PM ET
I know that conservatives often bash Book TV for its racy reality programming. And I understand that hit Book TV shows like “Pimp My Writing Desk” could, in fact, inspire our nation’s youth to buy expensive oak desks or invest dozens of dollars in fly pen holders tricked out with bling. But I stand by my support of the network. I like it. Which is why I point out that at 5 p.m. Eastern time Sunday it will air Peter Hessler discussing his new book about China, “Oracle Bones.” Hessler’s terrific River Town made our top 30 travel books list recently, and not long ago, the New Yorker correspondent shared his thoughts about the list with us.

Agreed! Book-TV is great and that alone justifies my monthly expense for DirecTV. The weekend shows have provided me with many items for my “books to read list”.
