Episodes

This week I make a case for The Count of Monte Cristo, the absolute best revenge book ever written.

This week, I talk about Edith Wharton and her book Ethan Frome. And guess what? There’s a movie adaptation that I don’t hate! How about that?

This week, we blow the stink off from the last couple of weeks and talk about The Canterbury Tales, a classic that is a freaking JOY to read and research. And I mean that.

This week, I had my childhood ruined, so I’m sharing my misery and talking about Roald Dahl and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

This week I talk about the poetry of T.S. Eliot. There’s some fun trivia bits in here that you can use to wow people during your next Zoom meeting, so listen closely!

This week I talk about Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. Much of it is still surprisingly relevant today, and I get sidetracked ranting about the joys of the canned meat of my heart, Spam.

This week, I make a case for William Shakespeare, but with a twist. Don’t read his plays, watch them! I’ve got handy dandy links to help you with that in the show notes!

This week we talk about Booker Prize winner, Disgrace, by J.M. Coetzee. This is a heavy book, but so very much worth the time.

This week, we finish the four part series on Dante Alighieri and The Divine Comedy. I confuse myself with medieval astronomy, but it’s a good time despite that!
