Quote
The book of his that I've been reading the most over the last year or so is... It's a collection of essays called Life is a Miracle. It's a wonderful book. He's just a true American philosopher. He's fantastic. I encourage anybody to get that book and read it.

Summary
After Wendell Berry's death, Dave named the essay collection Life Is a Miracle as the Berry book he's read most over the past year. He calls Berry a true American philosopher and encourages anyone to get it. He then read Berry's passage on art: art that rises above competence sees each board as unique.
Not in the audio. The first words of this Dave-labeled cue run ('but I can't. Can't pinpoint it.') look like Adam's reply that voice matching mislabeled, so the quote starts after them.
