We're onto our third book of the second season, and it is a DOOZY. In this episode we take a look at the first half of Rabbit, Run and try to decide if Updike is taking a "Mad Men" approach to his characters, or if we are really supposed to side with Rabbit. Fiery discussions ensue, as per usual. Another quarantine ep in the bank.

Back with another quarantine episode. Though it has only been two weeks, 'Rona Time has made it feel like two months. In the meantime, we have the pod to hold us together. In this episode, we debate the supernatural additions, discuss if there was hope for Leonie, and decide whether this novel was more Faulkner or Saunders in the end. Hope you are staying safe and healthy!

We're finishing up the first book of season two with our second episode on As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. We have some metaphysical questions about Addie, find some humor in the darkness, and have a couple drinks along the way.
