The Scarlet Letter we've never sold a copy of that you bought 300 copies? It's an awful book.

At least it's the worst book I've ever read in my life of all books I've read.

The story itself is not bad the way it's written is horrible that author needs to go back to school forever Nathaniel Hawthorne terrible terrible person terrible writer in fact I don't know what kind of person he is but for writing that book and the way he wrote it he's a terrible person.

I've talked about that book before I there is nothing that I have read that is but I would rather read the dictionary than that book ever again.

the one book I wish I had and I will forever rip on it is The Scarlet Letter. There has never been a worse piece of literature. I have read in my life

something about that book was the ultimate melatonin. I would read four lines and fall the fuck asleep.

Arthur Dimmesdale the reader must know and his dear Hester Prynne took their little pearl and every fucking time.

I'm pretty sure that that line is in there a whole bunch couldn't tell you exactly when I read three lines at a time of that fucking book. It took me all summer to read to that book.

It took me like two and a half of our three months off to get through that fucking book. Every day I would read three lines and it was like I wanted to bash my head against a brick wall. Never had more pain in my life than trying to get through that book.

The Scarlet Letter did its best to destroy my love of anything, especially letters.

this guy will be like yeah well I couldn't find the French Laundry gets their cultured butter from one creamery in the south of France but they buy all of it and so you can't get that so I got this other cultured butter it's $28 a quarter pound um and it's not the same but you know this is what I have to work with

Dungeon Crawler Carl. Oh, wait. It's so good. It's so good?

I haven't yet. I bought the first book. You haven't read it yet? I've got to finish Runaway Jury first, but then I'm switching over to it.

I started it last night, finished it before the podcast. It was that good. Nice. I loved it. I can't wait to read the next one.

I will say if you like Project Hail Mary and if you haven't read The Martian, The Martian is very worth reading. You should read Artemis by Andy Weir.

And I also tied that in because I mean it might be a spoiler but in Dungeon Crawler Carl in the first book there's a thing about big boy undies.

I love Dungeon Crawler Carl. What book are you on? I'm on book five.

Seven. Eight comes out in a couple months or two or something.

I read books like I chew packs of gum, all of it at once.

I loved all. I love reading the spell and the ability descriptions. Like I could, if the whole book was basically just reading what they did and what the AI was saying, it's just like, and basically that is the whole book, but it's like, that's, that's some of my favorite part.

If you really like the AI six and seven are going to knock your socks off.

I'm excited for the movie to come out of the novelization of the movie of the original novel of The Da Vinci Code.

The book inspired the movie, but then the movie inspired a novelization of it. And so there is a novelization of the movie, which they're now making into a new movie based off the novelization instead of the original material.

But then I'll be excited to see when the novelization of the movie about the novelization about the movie based on the book comes out because then that's more Da Vinci Code I get to read.

The Da Vinci Code is the first one isn't that second one oh how to gone in 60 seconds that's exactly the leonardo koda sorry tom hanks and catholicism gone in 60 seconds that's fantastic thank you

Catch 22 is one of my favorite like concepts. I read the book when I was in high school and I just love it.

Catch-22 was a great book. I love Catch-22.

growing up for us Harry Potter was a popular series right and like when the Harry Potter books would come out I would always read those like the next day or that night. It was like you go to the midnight release get the book next day read done

So he was, you know, upset. Not really, but you know, disappointed.

the punishment was I need to read the Bible

he made me do a book report on the story of Job

One of my favorite sci-fi books is based on the story of Job.

And so these two guys were talking and there's Job. He's got family and a farm and whatnot. And the devil says to God is all like, Hey, you're not as good as you think you are. Your people don't believe in you as much as they do. You think you, they do. And I bet that I can get one of them to swish on you at a heartbeat, even the most devout. And God was like, well, there's Job. He's uh, he's happy. Fuck up his life. He'll still believe in me. And so the devil did that.

God, give me like Ents from Lord of the Rings come out, but redwoods.

I actually did that for like four years in a row for book reports. I did the same book just because I wanted to read The Hobbit again.

I actually reread the book each time.

The Grapes of Wrath or some book like that and what happened was I had dreamed I read the book the night prior I dreamed I read it and that's what I thought the book was all of my dream thoughts.

you know the book everybody poops yes great book good read

Catcher in the Rye maybe? Is that one of the ones people hate?

Molly said Catcher in the Rye was the one she couldn't stand.

I liked some of the books but some of them I don't remember specifically but which ones but I read I remember reading one and getting to the end and be like, nope. Nope. No more goosebumps too much.

the last time this happened to me was with the player one book and like it that's very like I don't know if that's a cool book or not. The movie was questionable, but the book I think is really good.

I read that book in one night. I picked it up and I was like, I'll just read this before bed a little bit and then at like 6 in the morning. I finished the book.

I remember like reading that with my grandma when I was a toddler. All these images of this book series are like triggering things in my deep memory as well. I must have read these or something.

The something house of Richard Scarry or something. I don't remember what it was called. The Crazy Town of Richard Scarry. Wait, hang on. I'm going to Google that. Something house. The Mountain House of Scary Lane. The House of Richard Scarry.

Richard Scarry's Best House Ever is a YouTube video. The Busy World of Richard. Who is Richard Scarry? Who is this man? Some little like hamster thing with like a red hat, I think. It looks like a worm. What? It looks like a worm driving an apple car, Wade. No, there's a hamster. No Bob, stop. Are you talking about the book? Is this the House of Mistress Mouse? Oh wait, Richard Scarry is the author.

The book series about the family of bears. The Berenstain Bears. Does that sound right to you?

Apparently it's Berenstain Bears and I definitely was in the Berenstain camp.
