    READING 1-STAR REVIEWS OF BOOKS WE LOVE | do goodreads users deserve rights?

    For some reason we decided today we should rile ourselves up by reading haters' opinions of our favorite books. Fortunately a lot of them were funny, and several raised thought-provoking points we maybe couldn't argue with. We sure did try though. This episode is mostly spoiler-free, but there are mentions of general themes and characters in some of the books.
