After an extended hiatus, Chad and Tom are back to discuss a slew of things that happened over the past couple months. These include Book Marks, what's going to happen to B&N, and Tim Parks's article on The Vegetarian. They also talk about some books they've read recently--including Zero K, which neither of them liked--before ending with a major announcement from Tom. It's worth mentioning that Alex Shephard wrote a couple of the articles discussed on this podcast, including one on Book Marks and one on B&N. Also worth noting that there's a glaring lack of sports talk in this podcast. Here are the books discussed this week: I Love Dick by Chris Krause The Motel Life by Willy Vlautin Thus Bad Begins by Javier Marías The Transmigration of Bodies by Yuri Herrera The Island of Point Nemo by Jean-Marie Blas de Roblés The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith Screamin' Jay Hawkins' All-Time Greatest Hits by Mark Binelli Zero K by Don DeLillo Also, a reminder, since we changed our podcast feed, you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the correct feed in iTunes at that link, or right here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/three-percent-podcast/id434696686 Or, you can just put this feed link into whichever is your podcast app of choice: http://threepercent.libsyn.com/rss And, as always, feel free to send any and all comments or questions to [email protected].
