Another special, in which Michael and Ethan set the table for the discussion of one of the books in literature which itself has perhaps some of the most tables set within it: this is the world of Francois Rabelais, and his Great (dirty) Book, Gargantua and Pantagruel.

In this episode:

Rabelais as Dirty Book

Ethan has one page of notes

Michael gets put on a Diet of Worms

Michael’s wife is the main character of this episode, really

We ram our heads into our time. Which is hardly a surprise

Distilling the zeitgeist into predicting the future

Putting a pin in Melancthon

Aphorisms. Ethan is trying to think of Aphorisms. Sorry this took so long

Next time Michael and Ethan will begin discussion of our next Mongo Book: Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Francois Rabelais. Join the discussion!
