Welcome to SeeingRead! Where your hosts, Jim & Kelly, tackle the age old millennial question: was the book really better than the movie?! Enjoy being wrong!

    Watchmen

    Watchmen

    Who watches the Watchmen? Us. Duh. Nixon is clutching the nuclear launch codes and we took the month to anatomically put ourselves back together for this special patreon birthday episode. How could this go wrong?Kelly cracks open her first comic book to find a fun way to play philosopher. Is this really about masked avengers or is it just Kierkegaard in tights? We don't think, therefore we aren't sure. Challenging as a new medium can be, an expression of intellect is still not some...

    The Handmaid's Tale

    The Handmaid's Tale

    Ladies, are modern day options crippling? Do you spend way too much time deciding between which primary color to wear and enjoy the thrill of voting against your basic needs? Well do we have a future for you!Kelly puts all her eggs in Margaret Atwood's basket. This Canadian author wrote a long form poem that chills, maybe not thrills, but certainly instills a fear for our future autonomy. We humans need love, touch, communication, and most importantly...to read. Apparently "my body my choice"...

    The Cuckoo's Calling

    The Cuckoo's Calling

    It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No, it's just a supermodel swan diving off the balcony. Some might call it foul play so it's up to a British sleuth(s)and these American readers to get to the bottom of it. But first, let's hit the pub and pick up a special guest to help us solve the murder of the teleplay for the Cormoran Strike Series.Kelly has found a friend to help defend JKRowling's pseudonym and detective series. She'd use their pronouns but that might not jive with the author. Regardless,...

    Fifty Shades of Grey

    Fifty Shades of Grey

    Is that love in the air? Gross, put my ball gag back in for some autoerotic asphyxiation. Welcome to Fifty Shades of Grey, a book and movie as vibrant as its slate color scheme. XXX content? More like Zzz's. EL James might not know what BDSM is or how a 21 year old woman talks, but that didn't stop her from riff'ing off Twilight. Kelly could defend her...but in the words of the author "Holy Cow, it's so hard." Thesaurus' were spanked within an inch of their limit and e-mails tied up the ...

    Atonement

    Atonement

    Thirteen year old girls can really put the "me" in migraines. Been there, done that. But since it's January and the play is cancelled let's solve a mystery and accidentally doom a few lives while we're at it. It was the Gardener in the Library with the Vase! The Chocolate War Profiteer in the garden! No, it's not Clue, it's the saddest love story that never was. Ian McEwan rewrote a young girl's history at the cost of her geriatric neurological health. Spoiler alert: sad. Maybe some friendly ...

    The Color Purple

    The Color Purple

    Dear God,What did postage stamps cost back in the 80s? 11 Oscar nominations? Danny Glover's dignity? One thing's for sure, after the film adaption, Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple demanded to be "returned to sender." Kelly is sending love letters to Alice Walker's 1982 Pulitzer Prize winning book. It might be a little more gritty, but it's a heavenly trip to finding your self worth. Even Jimmy admits that you can pick up the beautiful sentiments- to not to is a sin.The film introduced t...
