This is the ninth episode of Library Pizza, a podcast about reading hosted by the guy writing this: Mike Meginnis.

Last week, Tracy and I took a vacation to Kansas City, where we enjoyed the art museum, two jazz clubs, several eateries, one bar, and one used book store. We discuss our experience and used book stores generally, as well as our respective bachelorette parties and the marital applications of Taco Bell hot sauce. Texts briefly discussed include Jonathan Lethem's The Arrest, Orhan Pamuk's The New Life, Michael H. Bruno's Pocket Pal, and Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel. Also, Lord Jim arguably catches some strays.
