The Slow Reader

It's the end of 2021! That means it's time to finish up with the last couple of stories that I read. In this episode, a review of Darktown by Thomas Mullen, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, and a reading of 2 B R 0 2 B by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

The Only Good Indians

In this episode I talk about the books I've read since the last episode, when Patrick from the Consume Us podcast joined me to talk about a book we tried to finish by a set deadline (check out Episode 22 for the titles). I also have a more in-depth review of The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones.

Episode Description

In today's Slow Reader episode, it's not about books - it's a bonus episode about movies! I recently watched The Rock, Dr. No, and From Russia With Love.

You can view my Letterboxd profile if you want to see more of my movie reviews - there aren't many.

In this episode I review The Heroin Diaries and Paper Towns. I also talk about starting to re-read Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban and Ready Player One (in advance of November 24 when Ready Player Two is released).

I highly recommend following along with the podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back for both Ready Player One and Ready Player Two.
