Episode 3 - The Odyssey and George Bush

Episode 3 - The Odyssey and George Bush

Two "odysseys" for the price of one! Join us as Sharon discusses her travels with Odysseus in Homer's The Odyssey and Brannon hits the campaign and presidential trail with President Bush (41) in Destiny and Power - The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush by Jon Meacham. One ancient text and one modern biography (appropriate - after all, Sharon IS older than Brannon).

Episode 2 - Walt Disney and Theatre

Our second episode features a discussion of Theatre by W. Somerset Maugham and Walt Disney - The Triumph of the American Imagination by Neal Gabler. Brannon and Sharon discuss what drew them to these books and why you should read them too!

Episode 1 - The Furious Hours & the Brothers Karamazov

Our first books are The Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee by Casey Cep & The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky - a great new work (2019) set in our home state of Alabama alongside a classic from 1879-1880 set in Russia. We hope you enjoy Outside of a Dog. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read! (Groucho Marx).
