A.Ron is back! This week is a departure from the usual chapter-by-chapter format. Carl and Anthony widen the scope and talk about a few major themes, myth-making in an American context, sex, taboo, etc. A.Ron talks about his expectations for the new sci-fi "Foundation." And Anthony takes stock of each POV character and where they stand at the midpoint of the first book.
