First, snaps to the alliteration in the title of today’s episode. That sentence alone should tell you one thing about us: on this podcast, we stan books. Today, we take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of our favorite books from school. On this journey, we also take some time to critique the all powerful consortium of English teachers who chose these books for our consumption in an effort to answer whether the classics we all read in high school are actually classics.
