MultiReader Issues/Solutions

While trying out the reader project code presented in Chapter 1 of The Python Journeyman, I problem solved a couple of issues. I'm certain that my issues are related to being a Java defector, and a pythonic newbie.
I'm running Python 3.8.1 on macOS 10.15.

My Issues:

• UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte ...: invalid start byte

  The invalid start byte, I assume is related to test.bz2 and the authors' bz2.open(..., mode='wt'). I used mode='wb'.

• bound method MultiReader.read of <reader.multireader.MultiReader object at 0x10f4a8a90>
