The Bookening

Support us here!

Apologies, no new episode this week. Our heroes will be back next week with Old Man and the Sea. In the meantime, here is the first episode of our new podcast Sanity at the Movies. It happens to feature Nathan, Jake, and Brandon, so it's pretty much like an extended Bookening ep. Only about a movie. If you already heard it, there's a new ep of that podcast coming out tomorrow, which you subscribe to here, Apple users. (Also available wherever you get your podcasts.)

Hey, in this episode our heroes provide some much needed context for Catcher in the Rye. It looks like this book might be a big disagreement between them?

Our heroes discuss Alice in Wonderland, the place of surrealism in art, and whether you should read this book to your kids given Lewis Carroll's ... troubling history.
