Episode 65: Season 3 Wrap-Up

Join us as we revisit some of our favorite fail-lords of the season and conduct a highly scientific and professional grading meeting! We discuss the dastardly deeds of professors and shrubbery as we take a look back at Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter" (1844) to determine final grades for “Evil STEM 207.” Then we get into Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House (1959) to find out whether "blood dad" or "tall nephew" is at the top of the fail-class in “Spooky Real Estate 305.” We then perform the highest stakes assessment of all as we review the robust mustaches and costume enthusiasts of Sydney Owenson's The Wild Irish Girl (1806) and award grades for “King Shit 433," which is required if you would like to receive your official Better Read than Dead Sexy Harp Playing Certificate. Then we toast our favorite success-sons, recall some top-notch literary ding dongs from past seasons, and close the book on BRtD Season 3! We will be back this spring with brand new episodes including F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925), Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), and Frank Herbert's Dune (1965)!
