Meredith goes BookBub crazy. Susan invites J.K. Rowling to Denver for cake and podcasting. Jeannette asks Finnish listeners to correct her pronunciation. Also! Have you ever lied about reading a book? We discuss the most lied-about books, try to dissect the dense, moody passion of Anna Karenina, and challenge readers to read books with crazy titles and tell us about them.

Maybe we're too hard on the Internet of Things. And maybe they still mostly suck and are kind of dumb. And home servers! Remember those? Some crazy people still use them. Like Lyons.
