Episode Three: The Veneer of Silliness

Listen Later

This week, Emily and Kyle talk about forgotten novels – books they've stumbled across, picked up at the used bookstore, or been recommended that it seems like nobody's ever heard of. 

Plus, they follow up on the books they gave as gifts this year and talk about what they're reading.
