In this special episode, Michael and Ethan check in about what books they’ve read for reasons other than the podcast, like work and fun!

In this episode:

Being very wrong and owning it

It’s Crazy to Stay Chinese in Minnesota, by Eleanor Wong Telemaque

What blogs are

Lavie Tidhar is actually a collective cult

Tim Powers is master of the Strange Middle

Kaye Gibbons is the ruler of the first line, and (it bears reiterating) Ellen Foster could beat up Huckleberry Finn
