After an extended hiatus, Chad and Tom are back to discuss a slew of things that happened over the past couple months. These include Book Marks, what's going to happen to B&N, and Tim Parks's article on The Vegetarian. They also talk about some books they've read recently--including Zero K, which neither of them liked--before ending with a major announcement from Tom.
It's worth mentioning that Alex Shephard wrote a couple of the articles discussed on this podcast, including one on Book Marks and one on B&N.
Also worth noting that there's a glaring lack of sports talk in this podcast.
Here are the books discussed this week:
- I Love Dick by Chris Krause
- The Motel Life by Willy Vlautin
- Thus Bad Begins by Javier Marías
- The Transmigration of Bodies by Yuri Herrera
- The Island of Point Nemo by Jean-Marie Blas de Roblés
- The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
- Screamin' Jay Hawkins' All-Time Greatest Hits by Mark Binelli
- Zero K by Don DeLillo
