And here, the final episode on chapters 5-8. Thus far, most of our conversations seem to run long enough that there is enough material for three episodes. That does mean that it might take longer to get through a book if we keep doing three 45-55 min episodes instead of two episodes of around an hour and a half. But given the erratic nature of our recording, it works to have the content stretch. Today we cover:

A brief exploration on British vs. American humor

How Chapter 8 is divided - for us - between an entertaining portion and a heavier portion

Analysis of Thomas's behavior under stress, and an unexpected conflict with his wife

Our analysis and feelings about Colonel Tremaine

And finally, a discussion on the naming conventions of Arlington's chapters.

This episode also contains outtakes and further conversation after the outro.
