Are classic books actually good? I read classic literature for the first time and react to it as I go so that we can find out together. Join me and be edified, entertained, and likely confused as we make our way through these 'classics' together.

    Emily Post's Etiquette, pt2

    In this episode I get so cross with Emily Post for telling us how to balance the number of forks we own with the number of friends we have, I almost defenestrate the book entirely.

    Emily Post's Etiquette, pt1

    Imagine my surprise when I found out I've been screwing up every introduction I've ever made between two human beings my entire life! Actually... have I ever introduced two people before? Phew! Bullet dodged.

    The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: FINAL CHAPTER

    The biggest twist of this book is that it ENDS THIS WEEK. In my quest to be totally ignorant of literature, I retained my integrity in the glory of realizing this dang thing is at an end! Robert Louis Stevenson saved his finest and most reflective prose for this final, action-free chapter. A bold choice.

Will we get an amazing 'Hyde' pun this week? Will another child have their face rearranged? Let's listen together and find out!
