Boys in a Bookstore Wearing Microphones


Listen Later

Today, we're offering a special Dave-less bonus episode featuring our friend Nick Rynerson. Nick was in town on business, and we decided that we should to something amazing: we should go to McKay's, one of my favorite bookstores!

Get ready for the weirdest episode we may have ever done as we:

  • Offer hot takes on books we see
  • Recommend books for one another
  • Describe our approaches to bookstore browsing
  • Search for David Foster Wallace books and other titles Nick can't remember
  • Get a totally off-brand book for Dave that he has to read (because it's a gift, and it would be bad form to do otherwise)

All while wondering how long it's going to be before someone kicks us out.

A few of the books we mentioned on this episode:

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
  • The Crown Jewels by Walter Jon Williams
  • Island in the Sea of Time by S. M. Stirling
  • Ex Machina Vol. 1 by Brian K Vaughn & Tony Harris (note: this book is intended for adult readers only)
  • Commonwealth by Anne Patchett
  • Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
  • The Big Short by Michael Lewis
  • Shakespeare Wrote for Money by Nick Hornby
  • A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami
  • Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
