Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
Dr. Spock's baby and child care
Buy on Amazon"You might think of him as like Dr. Spock, if you're old enough to remember Dr. Spock, not the one from Star Trek but like the child development doctor who was kind of huge. I think in the 80s and 90s, I think my parents had a Dr. Spock book or two around."
To train up a child
Buy on Amazon"There's a very popular book among the Christian right called To Train Up a Child, and the basis of it is you should, when children are infants, do stuff like lay them down on a mat, and if they like wiggle to such a point that any part of their body is off of it, you like whip them! Basically, you like beat them!"
Sapling Cage
Buy on Amazon"I wrote a YA novel without any bad things—of course there are bad things; it's a novel and bad things have to happen in a story—called 'The Sapling Cage.' It's great, by the way. Robert actually read it; it is my favorite piece of your writing so far."
