Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we do the spoiler tag.

Original by Gunpowder, Fiction, and Plot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m26sPugQ34

We were talked about and thus tagged ourselves from Brian's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NihdpHGhDFc

1) What do you consider a Spoiler?

2) Does the genre you're reading impact what you consider to be a spoiler?

3) All the best bits are in the trailer, sometimes a synopsis can be too detailed. Do you research books prior to reading them or do you go in blind?

4) Sometimes the introduction or translator's notes can spoil the ending, especially for classics. Has this ever happened to you?

5) Name a time somebody spoiled a novel for you?

6) Have you ever spoiled a novel for somebody else?

7) If spoilers ruin novels, are there some authors or genres you can't reread?

8) When reviewing are you spoiler-free? Does this limit your ability to discuss?

9) Shoutout! Tell us about 5 channels you enjoy and then tag them.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This was an interesting one! "The Mark on the Wall" was published 1921 by Virginia Woolf. We oddly didn't get as big of a war vibe here as feminism. We by no means claim to be experts but we focused on that part for the talk. Let's talk about how this hit us and maybe what some of the interpretations can be for this piece. Have you guys read Woolf before? Let us know in the comments what would be the next piece to check out.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we finally review "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce. This was a very rewarding book to dive into and analyze. This book can be very polarizing. What was your experience with it?

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at "A Once Perfect Day for Bannafish" by Mieko Kawakami. This is an imagining of what would happen to young Sybil from the J. D. Salinger story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." This is an interesting piece with a shift in narration and some themes on recurring events in one's life and how we process memories. What did you think of it?  Translated by: Hitomi Yoshio

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" by J. D. Salinger from the collection Nine Tales. Salinger has a knack for using children to represent innocence. This is a haunting tale with "shell shock" or PTSD impacting a vet's attempt to reintegrate into society.
