Can you believe it's been 30 episodes already? Neither can we. We're proud to present the finale for our first season, talking about our favourite (and least favourite) books from the season.
We'll be back with Season 2 before you know it. So stay tuned!
Styled as a memoir and a self help book, Can't Hurt Me chronicles the crazy life led by David Goggins as he becomes the 'Hardest Man in the World'. Rising from obesity and despair to join the military, break world records and run ultra marathons, Goggins shares his story with the world and how he overcame the odds to make the most of what life has to offer.
The first of many adventures, A Study in Scarlet introduces us to London's first super detective, Sherlock Holmes. Narrated through Dr Watson, A Study in Scarlet tackles weird and odd subjects in Victorian England, America and beyond. Join us as Papercut takes a stab at the sleuth himself.
Not all stories need complex plots to convey complex emotions. Fredrik Backman's story of a grouchy old man and his misadventures is testament to that fact. Join us this week as we discuss a novel that promises to make you smile :)
Being a kid is never easy. Starting life as an old man is even more surreal, yet here we are. This short story from F Scott Fitzgerald imagines the life of Benjamin Button as he ages in reverse. What does Papercut have to say about that?
The War of the Worlds. The story of aliens attacking London and dying because of germs (spoilers). Find out what we think of it here in this episode of Papercut!
War, uh, yea. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. This week, Papercut explores Kurt Vonnegut's classic 'Slaughterhouse Five'. Part time travel, part space travel adventure, this story begs the question - what is the point of war? And beyond that, is there a point to life? Find out with us on this episode of Papercut.
What does justice mean? What does it mean to be made an example of? Set in apartheid South Africa, Cry, the Beloved Country recounts the tale of a father working tirelessly to save his son from execution. It's themes of racism and violence still permeate societies around the globe today. What does Papercut have to say about this?
