Ok, Ok, enough short stories for now. Let's dive into a book that was SUPER popular for its time, and one that honestly, I'm shocked had its popularity killed by the botched disney adaptation. I mean, for context, Edgar Rice Borroughs' other major work, Tarzan, is EASILY recognizable and often parodied (I mean, look at how often the stereotypical "Yell while swinging on a vine" trope is used!), and yet, I was genuinely surprised by most of the twists and turns in this one! Sure, there's some stuff in here that I'd recognize as a trope, but only because I'm a huge sucker for sword and planet type fiction that inhabits the same genre! Just bonkers. Anyway, I've been all out of sorts on scheduling lately, and for that, I apologize! Introducing some short form video to the pipeline has me all bent out of shape, and I'm only just now picking up the slack. Hey, at least I remembered to get the episodes out, though! Want to read along with us? Check out the book from the internet's second favorite library here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/62
Have things to say, or want to suggest new books? Check out the discord! http://discord.gg/PBZNsjn/
Last but not least, want to attend a live version of this? Check out the streams on Friday nights, over on twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/glacier_nester/
