Love, sex, intimacy, shame and oysters are just some of the topics we encounter as we delve into James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room. So pour yourself a large cognac (it's never too early in 1950s Paris) and prepare for one of the most heartbreaking love stories ever written. 

Join Em & Jess for a discussion about Martin Amis' Time's Arrow. At once harrowing, thought-provoking and hilarious – it's one not to be missed! 

Our second long-distance episode has landed! This time we're riding the escalator in Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine, where we discuss the intricacies of the office lunch break. Essential listening – and reading – for finding wonder in the quotidian world of shoelaces, straws and staplers. 

We discuss one of the Guardian's top 100 novels, Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. This is our first episode recorded long distance – sorry if you can tell! You'll need to turn the volume up! 

We're back with a new, sexier name and we’re celebrating in L.A.! Join us in the darkest of Disneylands for a chat about our latest read: L.A. Confidential by James Ellroy. There are spoilers galore so maybe save this one for later if you want to read the book yourself. Also, this episode comes with a million trigger warnings – it turns out Ellroy's City of Angels can be pretty hellish...

There’s disharmony in Flat 26 again! This time we’re disagreeing about John Berger’s And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos. Listen on for scintillating chats about time, death and poetry, as well as an offensively sweeping characterisation of male writers. It might just be our breast episode yet… 

Em and Jess discuss Pond by Claire Louise Bennett...and finally disagree with each other about something. Will their friendship survive? 

Em and Jess try their very best to talk about Sartre (go easy on us!)

Emily and Jess talk murder, freedom and existentialism in their discussions about their latest read - John Banville's The Book of Evidence. 

Find the Lit is back! In the second episode Emily and Jess discuss Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me.
