Bookclub

The birds are chirping, the bees are returning in diminished numbers, and Peeps are on sale because they're disgusting. Let Bookclub warm your heart and bring you springing forth from your winter slumber with a tale of bravery, brotherhood and baseball... and then we have to talk about systemic American racism. We club Jackie Robinson's I Never Had It Made. Play ball!

Spirit. Illusion. Life. Eternity...

Where are all the birds going?

Bookclub No. 15

Next book: I Never Had It Made by Jackie Robinson

In this episode of Bookclub, we take a deep dive into Dr. Seuss's sex-filled piece of capitalist propaganda entitled One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Did you know Dr. Seuss advocated the enslavement of the denizens of Whoville? It's true, we swear.

Next book: Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins

Did you know Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space? Too many people don't know that fact, and it makes us sad. Anyway, we take a look at Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis in this episode. We cover topics ranging from the American education system to American Family Radio to Wolfenstein 3D. So, basic Bookclub fare. Enjoy!

In this episode of Bookclub, we take a trip through Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic wasteland in The Road. People get eaten, children get taught how to eat a barrel, and all hope for humanity gets lost... Or does it?

On this episode of Bookclub, we find ourselves washed upon the pleasant shore of Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut. Little did we know that it would be an instant favorite. Enjoy!

Which way to the beaches of Maine? Well... you can head east as far as Bath and then... let me think. Or you could hop a Greyhound and go down the interstate 'til you come to...nah, wait a minute. Then there's that Hodgman fella's book that ain't bad at all, but it's... You could listen to this here podcast about that Hodgman fella's book... Come to think of it, you could read the book and then listen. I reckon that would get you there from here.

On this episode, we club an obscure moving picture book titled "Game of Thrones: Season One." You've probably never heard of it. Enjoy!

Pita bread? Check. Tomato and onion? You better believe it. And you know we got some of that yogurty goodness that is tzatziki. And to finish off the perfect gyro, Elijah brought us Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. He hoisted it up for the Bookclub to rotate it and roast it evenly from all sides. So come on down and get yourself a slice off this cone-shaped hunk of podcast.

Grab your paddles and sunscreen, clubbers! We're going on the ultimate 68-minute podcast adventure, as we journey through Don Starkell's Paddle to the Amazon: The Ultimate 12,000-Mile Canoe Adventure. We're joined by Misti Smith (friend of the show) who recommended this book, the club's first foray into non-fiction. Enjoy!
