Episode 109: The Repeat Reads
This week, we talk about repeat reads - those books that we find ourselves coming back to again and again, for whatever reason. From stone-cold classics to bewildering experiences, we try to figure out what makes a book worthy of being revisited. Sometimes it's the reputation, sometimes it's external forces, and sometimes it's just plain love of the text, but each of them results in delaying our other books in favor of emerging ourselves in a world all over again. In addition, Dietrich discusses an impressive second book by a friend of the podcast, and Josh discusses a classic B-horror film. You can send questions or comments to questions@thelibrarypolice.com.

What We've Been Reading0:00 to 20:31
In response to some requests as of late, we open this week by discussing the best ways to get your books to us for reviewing, as well as how NOT to make us frustrated and angry with you in the process. Plus, we give a quick plug to postertext.com, a very cool new startup with a very unique product that's perfect for us and our audience. From there, it's on to recent reads:

The Repeat Reads20:31 to 59:12
This week, we talk about repeat reads - those books that we find ourselves coming back to again and again, for whatever reason.

Off The Bookshelf59:12 to 1:18:02
The meat of this week's Off the Bookshelves is dedicated to Dietrich's discussion of Bioshock Infinite, a game that's been high on both of our lists for some time, and one that seems to be living up to all the hopes that had been set for it. But that's not everything on the table this week - we've got a negative review of the new Oz film, a RAVE review of a brilliant new psychothriller, and a love letter to a classic horror B-movie. |
