Cloud Atlas Part 4: The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish

Join Jon, Katie, and Sky as we shift tones and tackle section four of Cloud Atlas. We consider an insufferable narrator of questionable reliability in Timothy Cavendish, a noted plot twist, and the ever interlacing themes that weave through seemingly disparate stories.

Cloud Atlas Part 3: Half-Lives: The First Luisa Rey Mystery

Join Jon, Katie, and Sky this week as we sift through a murderous conspiracy revolving around a nuclear power plant and work our way through section three of Cloud Atlas. Narrative themes and structures begin to emerge and our concept of the book is quickly changing.

Talking Tolkien: Here at the End of All Things

I am glad that you're here with us, listeners, here at the end of all things. Join Katie and Jonathan as we discuss what it means to have read the Silmarillion, the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings—what we've discovered that we never noticed before, how our understanding of the books has changed, and how our lives have changed, as well. 

And of course, the road goes ever on. For those of you wondering what our next journey will be, we shed light on our next project: Interlibrary Loan. We'll be bringing the same chapter-by-chapter reading group to other difficult and hard-to-digest works, starting next week with Cloud Atlas.
