*UPDATE* There were a couple of moments of long silence near the end of the episode where I **ahem** forgot to add in the audio stinger. Those awkward moments of silence have been resolved in the newest upload.

We're starting "Bewilderment" by Richard Powers. In this episode, we discuss the first third of the book, in which "Flowers for Algernon" is foreshadowed to be the roadmap for this book. Warning: Cuss words and big words inside.
