The Stranger is one of the few reads that hooked me with the first sentences.

Children of Time

Whitney Viaduct

Mckenna Trail

While I like the casting of Hammond I didn't really like the direction Spielberg took Hammond in. I would say the movie and the books both have their pros and cons and it would be hard to say either one is truly better than the other.

This is not a criticism but it is a correction. Yossarian was a bombardier, not a pilot. Catch-22 has been my favourite book since I read it almost 20 years ago.

Le Carre is fun. The three body problem is badly written, and the philosphy it spreads is reactionary/unprogressive. The third book I don't know.

The only book that comes in my mind for autum is Vineland by Pynchon. And (because my Shakespear-heart is so wounded by you guys, who only know Romeo and Juliet) I'd like to recommend a movie: "Chimes at midnight" by Orson Welles. It combines some of the best Shakespeare-plays around my favorite, King Henry IV, part 2. Against the day - this will be great. I was so in the book, that I had to pause reading it for a year (really), because ... something happend to a character I liked the most ... around page ... 200 ... I was so shocked.

I'm only familiar with "the three body problem" I heard it's great, but I haven't read any of these. Read all of them, you might end up liking them. You never know!

Can I apologize I read the book now it’s not good.

Oh man! House of Leaves was DNF for me. Maybe do a whole episode on it. That might be a fun one to do.

I ordered Yellow Bird after watching your videos. That seems right up my alley. Can't wait to read it.

Between two Fires has been on my shelf a while (recommended by Andrew Klavan, funnily enough). I read his werewolf novel and liked it, can't wait to get into this one.

As a fellow bearded beefy book boy, I would love to join the book club and Discord

Le Carre is the master, read it, then donate.

It’s the start of spring here, headed into a brutal summer, probably 40 degrees Celsius in the shade (104 F for the yanks)

Omensetter's Luck is incoherent drivel. Admittedly, I only made it halfway through. I just couldn't take it anymore. To each his own.

Hey I have a question that I think would be fun for you guys to answer. I'll be leaving to work in Antarctica next month for 6 months during the Austral Summer. That means I'll be experiencing 24 hrs of daylight as well as extreme cold and remoteness. (The closest tree will be thousands of miles away) What do you guys think I should read while I'm there? I like to tie my memories of a place to a book and want to have the right book to do that with while I'm there. Something to magnify the thoughts and feelings of a desolate and harsh landscape. Thanks!

Looks like the Dalkey edition is out on July 1, 2025 🫠

For the Fall, I'd recommend Too Loud A Solitude, Stoner, Ethan Frome, Primo Levi, Apartment in Athens

The controversy of pronunciation of the middle name is between North and Southern pronunciation. The end "h" sound is pronounced as a "g" in the North.

For me, Fall books are either horror (Halloween) or stories that take place on college campuses (the beginning of the Fall semester). I wasn't crazy about the LaRocca stories. The Dalkey edition of The Tunnel is due on July 1, 2025. Yikes!

..So, Natural Causes definitely caught my attention, and will try to find it through my local bookseller. The Melancholy of Resistance I had heard of , but now I 'm definitely going to read it. Andy' s right- Stoner IS overrated. Between the Fires also sounds good, and then I'll go bankrupt! (happy to) Autumn is rapidly vanishing from the Mediterranean too. It's distressing Have a lovely autmn guys! Pick apples, look at the sunset, and talk to the skeleton beside you!

Have you guys watched Severence on Apple TV? It’s not based on a book and in my opinion it’s one of the greatest artistic achievements in the last decade, and easily one of the best tv shows of all time. Many many layers of mystery and satire. Season 2 comes out in January. They aren’t paying me I swear 😅

Dudes who talk about autumn reads are not cool. They are SUPER cool!

50 minutes for a pynchon reference! is that a new record? hahaha

The movie pretty good,i like when it show the vertigo pov scene

Started watching this pod a month ago, already went through every episode eagerly awaiting new ones, love you guys!

Donate them all.

Love three body problem but wouldn't recommend it. the sci fi concepts are the central focus and main appeal. And while I love the first book it is ultimately a prologue for the main story in book 2/3.

Three Body Problem has way too much science for someone who is not into sci fi. It’s a cool story but my god it’s boring at times

No, next.

This was the only Steinbeck book that was required reading when I was in school, and I was already a Steinbeck fan. I absolutely hated it, and thought it was a simultaneously boring and far-fetched story that only scratched the surface of what I loved about his books. My classmates who hadn't read any Steinbeck were turned off from his other works because of it. But it has probably been almost 15 years since I read it, so I should probably give it another shot.

"Bad guys" is just a plain wrong thing to say for ww1.

I haven' t read any of them, but it's simple. If you still have closets with enough space inside, keep one of the books. If you' ve started stacking books inside the bathtub, yeah, definitely donate them!

Get rid of all three of them. Three body problem is good but very dense to read it goes into very technical sci-fi and if you aren’t reading the entire series it’s not worth it since that first book brilliantly sets up the rest of the series. I would say keep it if you’re up for a challenge and read the entire series. Otherwise donate them all

Hi, hope you're good. Just wondering if the Book Club is still open to new readers?

I wish I could read this over again.

left hand of darkness for sure. Hyperion is good , but it is part of a series of books and not a self contained book.

Hi! Could you please post again the link to join your book club? What are your upcoming reads? Thanks for the fantastic content

You definitely sold it to me! Can’t wait to get to it.

I haven't read any Gass. I was going to start with The Tunnel, but I'll change my plans and dive into this one instead. Thanks for the recommendation!

Gass is my favorite author or atleast among them. I love the tunnel and middle c and Cartesian Sonata etc. Etc. and I enjoyed reading Omensetter's Luck but I had no idea what happened in it LOL

i stopped listening after he mentioned reading about veganism

The book is good and this beardy bloke is a whole heap of wrong.

Demon Copperhead is a working class coming of age story. I know it was trendy and also that Andy hated Poisonwood in HS, but DC is a tragic masterpiece - you might like it, Tony. I’ll try to think of some others. Maybe Angels by our good friend Denis?
