Episode 66: What We Read In March

We go long as Dean attempts the longest book in the English language, a really cool early gothic novel, and a cool new YA book; Alex reads books about how to be a good Prince, and the first female English playwright, and we both read our gift from Playgirl Carla.

- The Gnostic Gospels (ed. Alan Jacobs, 2005)

- The Boy From Elsewhere (Kestral Gaian, 2026)

- The Prince (Niccolo Machiavelli, 1532)

- The Prince & The Pauper (Mark Twain, 1881)

- The Monk (Matthew Gregory Lewis, 1796)

- The Rover (Aphra Behn, 1677)
