Teylor Smirl and John Holt ask you to read along as they explore books that challenge. We align our thinking with Kafka when he said “I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for?" Tune-in each week for a lively discussion of books followed by conversation with guests from all backgrounds who share their experiences and enrich the reading.

So...Sydnee made us watch this movie this week, and for SOME OF US it was their first time, and they maybe didn't know what to expect because SOMEONE didn't warn them.

We've delved into the world of Scott Pilgrim before, but we all couldn't wait for its newest installment in the form of an anime. While it might not seem like a new addition to the series could survive without much Scott actually in it, we all realized (spoiler alert) it's actually better that way maybe?

The whole basis for this episode came from Sydnee calling Rileigh "very much a Sally," and Rileigh (having no idea what this meant) immediately had to watch this classic movie for the first time ever to see whether her big sister was roasting her or not. Also just because she's a Virgo DOES NOT MEAN SHE'S HIGH MAINTENANCE, OKAY? Music: "Baby You Ch…
