Episode 8.3: "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson
Let's talk about dogs: doggos, puppers, and vampire-bacteria-infected-canines. Robert Neville gets a dog in these chapters and it's a heart-breaker. We also do a deep dive into male stoicism and the under-lying societal causes. So it's a light-hearted easy-breezy one, is what we're promising.

Episode 9.1: "The Nickel Boys" by Colson Whitehead
One of our more serious ventures, this month we're discussing the recent Pulitzer-Prize winner: The Nickel Boys. Heartbreaking, important, and wonderfully written. We will use this novel as a jumping off point to explore what society has done to young men over the years and we will not shy away from having frank conversations about race in American. This novel is a must read, but if that all sounds too heavy for your 2021 reading, stay tuned next month when we'll be reading the novel that inspired "Die Hard." (We like to mix it up at Literary Guise)
