Episode Ninety-Eight: Reading Snapshot

ep98.jpg

In This Episode:

On a crisp autumn evening, the guys got together to just… talk about reading. Sounds crazy, totally unheard of, but we like this nearly-annual segment because it’s sometimes fun to just catch up about the actual reading as opposed to just the books themselves. So they ramble on over a whiskey-tea cocktail about Shakespeare, Twitter, the speed of narrative, failed summer reading, and more.
