This week, I'm discussing I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb and its 2020 Max adaptation. I talk about my book club friend and his reaction to the book, what I appreciated about Mark Ruffalo's portrayal, and one of my biggest book pet peeves. There are spoilers as usual, but I try to limit the amount and there are a lot of twists and revelations. I hope you enjoy it despite everything.

I'm excited to talk about Fight Club this week. Fight Club is the first book by Chuck Palahniuk. I don't just talk about how the author's last name doesn't actually rhyme with his first name, I also talk about the ending, the author's thoughts on it and an upcoming surprise. Of course there's also a major plot twist that I'm sure most people know about by now.

This week, I'm talking about You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz. You Should Have Known is a mystery book published in 2014. The Undoing is its 2020 TV Mini Series adaptation. I discuss the the mini series in comparison to its source material, how it improves upon it, and what changes made me upset.

I discuss both in detail and there are spoilers for both. It's hard not to spoil mysteries when I'm analyzing them. Listen at your own risk.
