Shownotes Transcript

Guilty pleasures! We use the phrase all the time, but what does it really mean? Can *reading a book *ever be a guilty pleasure? A listener suggests that it can - and Jacke invites two frequent History of Literature guests to test the theory. For this day-before-Thanksgiving special treat, Laurie Frankel (This Is How It Always Is), Family Family)) and Mike Palindrome, the President of the Literature Supporters Club, help Jacke find some guilty pleasures, in literature and life. PLUS Jacke gives his own top ten guilty pleasures. AND Mary Flannery (Geoffrey Chaucer: Unveiling the Merry Bard)) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. Enjoy!
