Unwrapping the unknown 

While you're watching the new season of This is Life, make sure to open Keep Watching each Monday for hand-curated recommendations from host Lisa Ling and her team! After seeing last night's episode "Sex Work: Past, Present & Future”, Lisa recommends reading Spent: A Memoir by Antonia Crane. It's about a woman's journey through the sex industry, but it's also a story of family, community, and the struggle against loneliness.

Check out these other book recommendations from Lisa's team and a few participants in last night's episode (Esperanza and Kristen)! 

• Nickels: A Tale of Dissociation (Reflections of America) by Christine Stark
• Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Molly Smith
• Rent Girl by Michelle Tea

Watch the fourth episode of This is Life on Sunday, October 31 @ 10 PM ET. In "American Militias", Lisa unpacks the origins of so-called militias in America and the dramatic emergence of armed movements as a domestic threat. Watch previous episodes of the season on CNNgo and your cable provider.

Two musical powerhouses team up in newest CNN Film

CNN Films and HBO Max have commissioned a new concert documentary feature about the creative partnership of two renowned artists. Carole King and James Taylor: Just Call Out My Name documents the beloved songwriters’ triumphant 2010 Troubadour Reunion Tour of arena concerts around the world. 

Throughout 50 years of friendship, six-time Grammy® Award-winner James Taylor and four-time Grammy® Award-winner Carole King have performed together. One of their most famous collaborations was in 1970 at The Troubadour, the storied Los Angeles club. The pair came together to reprise that concert for The Troubadour’s 50th anniversary in 2007. 

As Taylor recalls in the new CNN Film, those 2007 performances including “So Far Away,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” and “You’ve Got a Friend,” during six sold out concerts were so much fun that he and King hatched plans for a 2010 world tour.
