    Wanna Know Our Favorites? Back to School (but in February)!

    We all know the classic books we read in school. Harry Potter (by a certain TERF) and Percy Jackson (by Rick Riordan!) were mainstays in our household. In this episode, we're going to talk about other series that we loved in elementary school. Hannah and Jon recommend some of their favorites. Tune in as Hannah talks about "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket, the "Uglies" trilogy by Scott Westerfield, and the "Inkheart" trilogy by Cornelia Funke. Jon talks about (the weirdest series ever to Hannah), the "Warriors" series and standalones, "Ranger's Apprentice," and "Fablehaven." Come for the recommendations, stay for the laughs as Hannah makes fun of Jon, and "Cats: the Musical." Hannah and Jon do know how to properly format a novel title. RSS won't let us.

    Sorry it Took So Long, May We Present: "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck

    "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck was published in 1937. The story follows two vagabonds as they travel for work in California, dreaming of a better, more settled life. The newest farm work comes with its own challenges as the story comments on poor rural society of the time. In this episode, Hannah and Jon will discuss the oppression displayed in the book, symbols, and themes (per our usual). Spoilers abound as Hannah and Jon walk us through the entire book, so a warning has been posted, but this was published in 1937, so is a warning even needed now? They argue (but Jon wins) over whether the tone of the book is pessimistic or hopeful, does this reflect poorly on their own outlooks of life?

    These Darn Comrades are STILL Taking Our "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

    Animal Farm by George Orwell, published in 1945, depicts an allegorical fairy tale of the Russian Revolution and Stalin's era of rule. As Hannah and Jon continue reading and finish the book, they explore the allegory further, while also comparing this story with other historical events. Grab your tissues, because this episode gets sad. Hannah and Jon finish out this novella by dissecting and covering the last four chapters (6-10). Hannah brings up the great 'Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl boss' of the character Squealer. They round out the story by discussing The Seven Commandments of Animal Farm, how these change, what it ultimately gets boiled down too, and how this is interpreted for our everyday life.

    These Darn Comrades are Taking Our "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

    Animal Farm was written by George Orwell and published in August of 1945. This allegorical tale depicts the rebellion of farm animals against their human farmer, Mr. Jones. In this episode, Hannah and Jon discuss the history of George Orwell, the allegory of the story, as well as the overall plot of the first five chapters. Will Hannah ever stop singing? Probably not, but she may have finally learned a thing or two about history. At least history pertaining to the hit song "Rasputin" or amazing movie Anastasia. Jon replaces the word "like" with "very" and let's just say, it's a very good change, which we like a lot. Jon once again references other novels whilst reading this one. Will it ever end? No, but you love it. P.S. Hannah loves the number 17. If someone notices this, buy me a coffee for $17 and we'll cover a story you want. Hannah and Jon do know how to properly format a novel title.

    We Make Good "Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler (with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy)

    "Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler was published in 1983 in Isaac Asimov's "Science Fiction Magazine." A pandemic (oof) has swept the world, killing many and leaving the rest in shambles. The story follows Rye, a woman traveling to find her remaining family members. Instead, she finds Obsidian and begins a brief relationship with him. In this episode with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy, Hannah and Jon discuss communication in the story, dystopias, and the prelude from Isaac Asimov. Warning: This episode has mentions of sexual assault. Hannah and Jon have a blast with the gals (again!) from Big Book Energy for Jennifer's pick. We discuss Asimov's history of abuse and how that factored into his prelude. How Octavia Butler was a BAMF and may have even called out men directly in the story. Jennifer brings up symbols, and you know by now that Hannah and Jon are ALL about those symbols.

    Happy Thoughts and "Tragic Life Stories" by Steve Duffy (with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy)

    "Tragic Life Stories" by Steve Duffy was featured in Year's Best Dark Fantasy and Horror of 2011. The story follows Dan, an author who has lost everything - his wife and his book deal. Dan meets Molly shortly after this news and begins writing a new novel, Say Uncle, featuring a character called X. As the story continues, X becomes real to Dan, or so it seems. In this episode, with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy, Hannah and Jon discuss the misery-lit genre, the use of comparison, and the strange ending of the story. Hannah and Jon have a blast with the gals from Big Book Energy. They bring up other sad stories that may feature in the misery-lit genre, including Hank Green's works and My Sister's Keeper. They talk over that atrocious ending to Game of Thrones and ponder if George RR Martin will ever finish that series.

    What Came First? Pokémon or Poems? Analyzing Form and Meter in Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death"

    "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson was posthumously published in 1890. The poem follows a narrator as they encounter Death and look back on life. In this episode, Hannah and Jon discuss how the poems came to be published, the themes throughout, the meter and form and how familiar it may sound. Hannah and Jon contemplate the philosophical question of what came first: the song or the poem. We get to hear Hannah's amazing rendition of the poem sung out to a catchy tune. Jon really reminds us that a poem with "Death" in the title, is definitely about death.. Someday we may release the "hot takes" cut of this episode.
