The nameless narrator in author Claire-Louise Bennett's new novel, Checkout 19, absolutely loves books. Their mere presence puts her at ease. But her lifelong love of reading is, in part, because she feels let down by the people around her. Bennett told NPR's Scott Simon that loving to read is amazing, but there's a danger in always living other's experiences before having some of your own.

There is one substance that makes up 98% of the observable matter in the universe, yet you will almost never encounter it in its native form. 

It is inside your body right now and life wouldn’t be possible without it, yet it is an extremely dangerous substance that could kill you if handled improperly. 

I am of course talking about hydrogen.

Learn more about hydrogen, the lightest and most fundamental of all the elements, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Can you belong to more than one home? Author Melissa Fu sets out to answer that question in her debut novel Peach Blossom Spring. The story of the Peach Blossom Spring was first told by a poet over one thousand years ago: A fisherman stumbles upon a paradise of peach trees and has to decide whether to abandon his old life and stay in this beautiful place or go back home. That is the same predicament that Fu's main character Renshu faces. Fu told NPR's Ailsa Chang that it's hard to live in two cultures but she wouldn't have it any other way.

John J. Miller is joined by Barry Strauss to discuss his new book, 'The War That Made the Roman Empire.'

Classical music is not usually associated with rowdiness and mayhem. They tend to be rather well-behaved and if anything, they might express their disapproval by simplifying not clapping loudly enough. 

However, there was one major exception to this. On a single night in Paris about 110 years ago, a crowd erupted into a riot over the premiere of a ballet. 

Learn more about classical music’s most notorious evening, the premiere of the Rite of Spring, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Author Azar Nafisi has written a love letter to literature and reading in Read Dangerously: The Subversive Power of Literature in Troubled Times. She does this in a series of letters to her late father who passed on in 2004. Nafisi says that reading can help us really live and also help us, and has helped her, survive challenging times. Nafisi told NPR's Scott Simon that literature's purpose is to let us experience new worlds: "to come out of yourself, and join the other."

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the Great War, the war to end all wars, came to an end. In the preceding four years and four months, the world saw the greatest bloodletting history up until that point. 

Even after the announcement of the armistice, the war continued for several hours. 

During that brief window, thousands of soldiers died. One, in particular, died at the very last minute of the war. 

Learn more about Sgt. Henry Gunther, the last soldier to die in World War I, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Almost every single person listening to this podcast right now is doing so on some sort of personal computing device. 

Many of the things that we consider part of a modern personal computer, windows, hyperlinks, a mouse, and a text editor, all were released upon the world in a single 90-minute demo in 1968. 

The ideas were so advanced it would take over two decades before most of them found themselves in everyone’s homes. 

Learn more about the Mother of All Demos and the birth of personal computing, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
