It's the end of the year, and the dudes are looking to the great beyond. Or, at least, to literature in other countries. Bob reads "December's Ruler" by Afrizar Malza (translated from the Indonesian by Daniel Owen), Chris reads "Logging Time" by Aase Berg (translated from the Swedish by Johannes Göransson), and the dudes talk about ways to make syntax more interesting. Then, some NBA Cup talk.
