  • Summary

  • Come for memories via Istanbul, stay for satire via Norway! This time around on the show we get into the subject of re-reading, Sharon’s inability to picture anyone other than David Mitchell as Proust, Eric reading a proto-cozy-thriller (and a weird book about Shakespeare for good measure), and Sarah’s dawning realization that satire in 2024 reads more like… well, a regular novel. All this, the cozy corner, our ever-growing pile of To-Be-Reads, and more on Episode 20!
