Just In Case We Die
In 2006, Quintessence Editions Ltd. published a book entitled "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die". Edited by academic Peter Boxall, this list was a curated selection of novels deemed "essential" for literature lovers. Over time, as books were added and removed to accommodate new tastes, the list has continued to grow into subsequent volumes. As of today, there have been 1,316 novels included in the list. Aaron, Rodney, and Rebecca will attempt to read and discuss every single one of them. Sort of.

It’s summertime!
That means beautiful weather, afternoons at the pool, and maybe some time to relax and catch up on our ever-growing TBR piles. It also means, however, that things are going to get chaotic around here– prepping for trips to Alaska, summer camp with the kids, schoolwork, jobs. Before the three of us get bogged down in real life, we decided to throw ourselves a backyard patio BBQ . . . and invite some of our favorite writers.
Each of us invited three writers to the shindig– one living, one dead, and one we’ve never discussed on our show before. That means our hypothetical backyard will be hosting nine writers from different eras and genres! What results is a fun and lively discussion in which we speculate on what all of these authors would bring to a conversation. Will a fight break out? Will Rodney’s selections surprise anyone? Will Kurt Vonnegut be sad that Aaron didn’t invite him to attend?
