Jimmy Pennington came on the show to talk about novels, and, while we may have strayed away from the topic at times, I truly dug this conversation.  We got into some neuroses of our own and how those feelings affect what the Great American Novel must mean to its readers.  We also deconstruct what it may mean that I avoid watching scary movies and the things Jimmy needs to watch even though he doesn't have internet access in his windowless apartment.
